In engineering, time and accuracy are the ultimate currency. Tight deadlines, complex electrical systems, and evolving customer demands leave no room for inefficiency. Yet, many design teams still rely on outdated or fragmented CAD tools that slow down collaboration and introduce costly rework.
This Cyber Monday, engineers can save both time and money by upgrading their workflows with Capital X Panel Designer — Siemens’ cloud-native electrical CAD software purpose-built for speed, convenience, and efficiency.
From December 1 to December 8, 2025, all subscription plans will be 20% off when you apply the discount code CYBER25 at checkout. It’s a rare opportunity to modernize your electrical design process and realize measurable time savings before the new year begins.
For decades, electrical engineers have relied on general-purpose CAD tools to complete panel schematics and wiring diagrams. While functional, these tools were never optimized for electrical design logic — resulting in repetitive manual work, disjointed collaboration, and higher chances of design errors.
In industries like industrial machinery, process industries, heavy equipment, energy & utilities, electronics, medical, and consumer products, these inefficiencies compound quickly. When every delay affects production timelines and profitability, teams need tools designed for engineering performance, not just drafting.
To stay competitive, teams need more than performance gains. They need tools that deliver speed, convenience, and cost efficiency in one package.
The Solution: Cloud-Native Electrical CAD Designed for Speed, Convenience, and Efficiency
Capital X Panel Designer was developed to close that gap. Unlike traditional desktop CAD software, it is cloud-native, with real-time collaboration and automation built directly into the workflow. Engineers can design, review, and update projects simultaneously, keeping everyone aligned and every version current, from any device with a modern browser —eliminating installation, downloads, and maintenance challenges.
Combined with real-time collaboration and powerful automation tools that minimize rework, the result is both time efficiency and cost efficiency — enabling engineers to deliver high-quality designs faster while reducing operational expenses.
It’s not just a shift to the cloud — it’s a shift toward smarter, more connected engineering.

Instant Report Generation: Automatically generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), terminal lists, and wire lists in seconds — ready for procurement or documentation.
Extensive Symbol Library: Thousands of standard and manufacturer symbols covering electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic circuits, ready for direct use.
An extensive list of pre-designed symbols and stencils in Capital X Panel Designer.Component Portal: Access real-world manufactured parts for more accurate, production-ready designs.
The integrated CADENAS cloud part library, 3Dfindit.These capabilities allow engineers to design once, reuse proven circuits, and deliver high-quality results faster than ever. In benchmark tests, Capital X Panel Designer completed schematic projects 2.25× faster than AutoCAD Electrical*, reflecting its automation-driven efficiency. (*Based on internal comparison tests conducted by the Capital X Panel Designer team using equivalent schematic projects under controlled conditions. Performance may vary depending on project complexity, internet connection, and user configuration.)
Every project operates differently, but the goal is always the same — getting designs done faster and smarter. Capital X Panel Designer offers flexible subscription plans built for how engineers work. Whether you’re designing solo or managing a full team, each plan delivers the same core strengths — automation and collaboration — with scalability that adapts as your projects grow. You never need to change tools or slow down.

For teams working across mechanical and electrical domains, the Advanced plan enables electromechanical co-design within a PLM-driven workflow.
Through integration with Designcenter Solid Edge, NX, and Teamcenter — part of the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem — engineers can exchange connectivity data, sync Bills of Materials, and manage both mechanical and electrical design data within one unified environment.
Supports a more connected and efficient engineering workflow.
It’s an ideal solution for Designcenter Solid Edge, NX, and Teamcenter users, as well as for mechanical engineers who also manage electrical or panel design workflows. By connecting both sides of the design process, teams can eliminate silos, reduce rework, and achieve better alignment across every project.
