I am wondering what people are using for Substation Design tools? We all have our own opinions and functionality needs, but I'm curious what might be software packages that are industry popular. AutoCad is the platform I'm familiar with in my experience, but I know there are many others.

Some background: I have 4 years of expierience in the utility industry since graduting from college with an EE degree, Power emphasis. My first year I worked in our company's substation department, doing system protection, subtation control design, etc. After a year...
Does anyone have an opinion on what field or where to get actual, physical, hands on engineer expierience? Whether it's testing, breadboarding, fixing things, etc. Is there such a thing? I work in utilities, and if I were to do any true hands on I'd get slapped with a union grievance so fast...
