Cut my teeth on version 2.17 running in a PC-XT about 35 years ago . . . so it's kinda in my blood! There are dozens of cad programs compatible with the native AutoCAD .dwg file format. Some are even free. Intellicad is a low cost program that comes to mind. I've posted this to the List so that others with more experience outside the AutoCAD corral can offer their own suggestions. You can download any of the z-figures as .dwg files here: https://tinyurl.com/385dhl There are some exemplar wire-books for complete electrical documentation of your project here: https://tinyurl.com/9a5n8jb These wirebook drawings are divided up into 'views' each of which is an exemplar system drawing that prints to an 8-1/2 x 11 inch page. You can pick and choose from these to use as-is or modify to match your design . . .will save you a LOT of work for having created the whole book from scratch.

Make the aux battery switch two pole with second pole wired to disable the starter contactor any time the aux battery is ON.

Worked and still works great. Simple, small and easy. The program is intended for circuit board design so electrical 'logic' is sort of built in. But the key is that it's simple and easy.
