Standard electrical symbols and the kind of documents generated with them date back before I was born. Servicing, training, troubleshooting all demand that people be able to quickly grasp system relationships, signal flow, etc. Knowing where signals are - on what pins or terminals - is explicit in my documentation.

Shown above is just one panel of a 4 page master electrical schematic of the stent cutting laser system I designed. Several layers of information are included: an electrical diagram, a pictorial view, parts location, a flow chart, functional explanations and even part numbers. This is a kind of documentation I discovered was possible, though not conventional, with the computer. "Classic documentation" is simply an artifact of the tools of drafting. My documentation is far richer in information. It shows complete systems that can be easily followed when troubleshooting is required. Johnson & Johnson received my complete 4-panel design that was 6 feet long.
