Hi,


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

    May I suggest looking at OnShape - a fully online Software-as-a-Service package descended from SolidWorks and now owned by PTC. It used to be free on a shareware basis for small user or trial purposes, with basic 3D functionality. You pay for full functionality, with private drawings and server space. It has the capability to work with sheet metal, and has its own programming language which permits creation of custom macros which can be added to equally customized menus.

    Note: It is US-based, so defaults to US units, but you can easily change that to metric in the setup.
