Can anyone recommend software to help me layout a wiring diagram?

I'd like to start thinking about all the little wiring things I need to figure out for the truck project. Like IF in electric mode only THEN a DC/DC converter needs to be on to charge the 12V system.

I'd like to draw all those things out in some sort of basic, clean schematic, which I can post, get input on, and be able to share. (And look better than my pencil scratchings!)

I have Adobe Illustrator, but I'm really looking more for something that can automatically draw a line from one object to another, and have the line move with the objects if I move them. Some sort of flowchart software with icons for switches and motors and things would be great!

Any thoughts?
PS: I'm on a Mac, so no "PC only" software
