Autocad 2010

Does basic(?) Autocad 2010 include Autocad 2010 Electrical or is Autocad 2010 Electrical a stand-alone download?  Or, can the Electrical be integrated with the basic(?) Autocad 2010?  Much Thanks, CNM.

No, AutoCAD Electrical is a stand-alone.

Basic AutoCAD does not include AutoCAD Electrical. AutoCAD Electrical has more than AutoCAD, It's basically AutoCAD with Electrical Tools. Notice the price difference in the following link: http://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad-electrical/compare-products

Thanks for quick response! Q. Will AutoCAD 2010 Electrical allow for
physical layout in a panel along with physical dimensioning? Thanks, CNM.

AutoCAD Electrical forum is way over here, they'll answer all your questions about it better http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical/ct-p/2035

Yes.

Last question - are there any major differences between AutoCAD Electrical
2010 and AutoCAD Electrical 2015 or are they basically the same? Much
Thanks, CNM

Do you already have these products (can't generally purchase or license old releases)?

For physical 3D layouts (not schematics) you might also look at Autodesk Inventor Professional - Routed Systems.
