• Answer:

  Skip electrical autocad. It has all these features that real engineers never use. Learn basic drafting. You have to be able to draw it your self, if you are going to show a draftsman what you want, it is better if you can do it your self. Standard autocad with all the bells and whistles works. There are cheaper versions like intelecad. Scada used to be either modbus, or opc, or dnp. Now everything is over the Ethernet using virtual private NETWORKS (VPN). You can take a two week course in those areas. But there is so much information out there that you can get for free. Check out the SEL relay site. They have a lot of information on protective relays, including scada.
