Well I dont know of one package that will do all that
for drawing circuits , logic or analog xcircuit is great, easy and fast and
free!
I dont remember where to get it, but I can find out if you cant find it from a
search. It doesnt do simulation though
For that you need spice and spiceCAD which are on sunsite. Of course there is
some learning curve there. For quick schematics, xcircuit takes some beating.
Your other question suggests you need a 3D modelling package. I use AC3D
which allows you to scale , resize and set all 3 dimensions of each primitive,
join form unions and much more all for around $10 I think. There is a free
working demo as well. You can view, rotate and export in POV format which is
great for rendering your work later.
There are other modellers out there like sced, aero etc, but AC3D is the
easiest to learn ( I think)
Hope that helps, if not drop[ me a line and I will try to find out more
