Depends - if you are drawing schematics that will eventually become PC
boards, then you do want an electronic CAD package, as such packages
will make sure that your board layout matches the schematic.

If you are just doing general documentation of wiring harnesses or
system cable connections, a mechanical drafting program is OK - you
can just ignore all the spurious stuff like dimensioning, 3D views,
etc.
