I have no personal experience with this software, but you might want to look at it as I've heard others comment about its use in the building industry:

would probably be the No. 1 steel detailing software worldwide, but there are many others to consider, depending on the type and scale of steelwork you are working with.

Will you be designing the steel as well?

Based on the details of your question ... Any CAD program is the answer..

I tried several but failed. So found a shop drawings service firm - Elmech. They've done the job very fast for me here in NY though they are from MD. The fee was very acceptable.

You tried several CAD programs? How did they fail for you?
