Topic: Recommended software to build control panel for small business?

Hello everyone!
I was looking around for some advice for software i could buy or download to help me build my control panel at a low cost? I gived a few try to get a Autocad LT license but it seem to expensive for the few panel i would like to build each year so i was hoping maybe you guys could recommended me something else? if not i would give it another try for Autocad.
Also i'm from canada, and i would like to build them and certificate CSA them right after.
Most of the control panel i want to rebuild already exist in my company but are very old and in a very bad condition.

You ask users and developers of QElectroTech, what software to use for schematics of a control-panel.

What answer do you expect?

QElectroTech of course!

The question was more about the mechanical CAD part I suppose.  In that case, have a look at LibreCAD or FreeCAD.  For some easy cases, SolveSpace might also be convenient.
