Hi,


Wot is the best design package for control panels. Autocad is good but expensive.

  • Last time I looked, the costs were around £2,300 per year (rental only), it's the most expensive mainstream 3D/design package. As Andy says they hook you with the free version first, which can be limiting for some folks.

    Next down in cost is Inventor (also rental only), then Solidworks, then Radan. I looked at over 15 systems - there are a lot out there!

    For proper but affordable 2D try Bricscad (bricsys.com). If you are only drawing schematics that will be fine.
