Choose which items go onto a drawing, and set default drawing types per item

Don't drop every project item onto a drawing automatically. Let the user add items individually, by location or by system, and add a setting for whether accessories go onto drawings (off by default). Also let each catalog item carry a default for which drawings it appears on: Connection, Schematic, Plan View, Wirepath or Elevation.

Automatic placement doesn't scale to medium and large commercial projects. Vote and comment if you manage drawings on large jobs.
