Capital X Panel Designer is a cloud-native electrical CAD software that redefines how electrical engineers design, collaborate, and deliver. Built for speed, efficiency, and convenience, it empowers small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and engineering teams to create electrical schematics and panel layouts with real-time cloud collaboration. No heavy installations, no steep learning curves, and no high costs.
A world where electrical design is efficient, accurate, and collaborative in real time. Engineers should focus on quality and project delivery, not be held back by outdated tools or rigid processes.
To equip electrical engineers with a powerful, easy-to-use electrical CAD software that delivers:
Legacy electrical CAD tools slow down teams with installations, updates, and file management headaches. Capital X Panel Designer is built fully cloud-native to eliminate those roadblocks:
Electrical design doesn't belong in silos. It belongs in the cloud.
We started as a Microsoft Visio automation plugin. The market evolved, the demands and complexities increased, and engineers needed more speed, collaboration, and simplicity. So, we rebuilt from the ground up as a cloud-native electrical CAD platform. Every feature we build is guided by one principle: to make electrical design easier, faster, and more valuable to the business.
Now part of Siemens, Capital X Panel Designer brings together the innovation of a fast-moving SaaS team with the reliability, security, and global reach of an engineering leader. We're building the future of electrical CAD and putting engineers at the center.
