Hello, what is the best platform for remote work as an electrical engineer, with a focus on offline engineering tasks?

I am seeking opportunities related to the design and delivery of comprehensive electrical and automation solutions, particularly in machine building and OEM environments.

I am also specifically interested in platforms or companies that use EPLAN software for electrical design and documentation, and that support remote collaboration on industrial automation projects.

What is the best platform or marketplace for this type of work, especially where there is strong demand and less candidate saturation?

I’m using Pro Panel 2024. Is there a way to put a bubble around an item numbers in the 3D layout or model views? I haven’t found a way, so I downloaded a font that has the numbers circled, but it’s causing both digits of a two digit number to each have their own circle.

Hey, I’m currently renovating my house. Since our electrical diagram isn’t up to date, I’d like to draw it up in Eplan. To get a clear picture of everything, I’d like to create a floor plan for each room and floor. I know this was possible in previous versions, but I’ve kind of forgotten how. Can anyone help me get started on my 2D drawings?

What values do I need to specify when exporting from Excel so that I end up with a table where each individual wire in every cable is listed along with its source and destination? Leave a blank row after each cable. I just can't seem to find the right values because I only want the equipment codes without the locations

Cable | Wire | Source | Destination

Does anyone know if EPLAN has a way to show that 2 connections are a twisted pair? for instance I have 2 encoder outputs that the cables are twisted together to reduce EMI. I could just indicate with text but that is boring.

I have worked in Electrical and Instrumentation maintenance field but I have no experience with EPLAN. I have installed EPLAN student and am learning things on my own. I am making a small project to learn things but have some confusion about how to divide project and where to start.
can someone help?

Let me explain the project as below: Crate Washer.

conveyor with 3 motors and 4 sensors, two tanks, tank 1 with soap-water and tank 2 with just water.

EC is electric panel.
Ignore '++PLANT1'. It is just there if there is one more similar machine in the plant then it can go under ++PLANT2.

My problem is I have divided +FIELD into two parts =CONV and =TANK but somehow I think +FIELD is not necessary and I would just make three parts +EC, +CONV and +TANK.

Can someone please explain what would the best way to tackle this probelm?
