In all seriousness, swipe a bunch of minilla folder) from work, grab
the ruler and your old circle compass (with the pencil piece in it) and
a Spruce catalog. Go to the instrument pages in the Spruce catalog then
cut yourself a bunch of 3 1/3 instrument and 2.25 circle/squares from
the minilla folders and have fun with placement on a flat surface..use
your imagination with your new cutouts. Why learn a piece of software
just to use it once...some of the software packages are are not
intuitive and the time spent learning them is a waste...........

I agree with Phil - for something as important as panel design, lay it out
and sit in your plane. Go through the various phases of flight, developing
initial checklists. The panel layout should make sense from a startup,
taxi, runup, takeoff, cruise, etc. point of view. Most overlook this.
Think about finding the right switch at night (ever try that along a long
line of switches)? CAD has its place, but more important is the general
layout of the panel, and the sticky notes, or cardboard cutouts, as Phil
discusses, is the best starting point. (In case you are tempted to light
the torch, I spend many hours a week using CAD packages in my line of work,
so it is not that I'm somehow "old fashioned". I just know what their
limitations are.)
