		  Bob,  what cad program do you use to draw your schematics?  I would like to do a drawing of my system with the contractors and 700 2-10 switch drawing, like you have.

 Thanks, Jerry Farek, Houston, TX 	


   

 I use AutoCAD. 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:

 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.

There is a very easy to use and free program called Express.sch

https://www.expresspcb.com/download/primary-download-form/

They want your email address prior to downloading the software.

I have a special address for situations like this.
