Anyone out there know of a software to design din-rail enclosures?

With more Crestron devices becoming DIN-mountable I want to ensure the enclosure will be large enough to fit everything I need in it.

I would like to provide a custom enclosure so I don't want a generic DIN only enclosure

Ask Crestron what kind of software they know of that will allow them to support your use of their DIN-rail product. That's a clearly manipulative way of phrasing your request, but maybe it'll work. People like it when you throw money at them, but people don't always realize they can help make it happen.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

You could do it crudely in Excel.

You can do this in D3 by adding Din enclosure under the module and enclosures tab. Or are you wanting to get away from the crestron enclosures all together?

This may be what I resort to. I can also do it in Visio by changing my page size and creating boxes the size of each device.

I want to avoid D3 as I will only have a couple Crestron Din devices (THSTAT, 1STAT8, HUB (maybe)). All other parts will be phoenix contact terminals, power supplies and fuses, along with trying to incorporate other devices (security panels/accessories) that aren't a DIN mounted device.

We typically use a Hammond Enclosure with a back plate and design our own to accommodate everything. I want to ensure that all devices will fit as I have got screwed on a job where the enclosure got filled then an addition to the house was built and I didn't have room for the additional devices.
