Not sure where you are or if your running for residential or commercial, however, trying to draw every wire in a main or sub panel is really overkill to me, if that's what your doing.

 

If your running pipe, (conduit), then you could have 20 wires in that pipe, so for modeling purposes run a single pipe and specify the circuits within it... For residential, running NM or (romex), run a single extrusion for say 12-2 which would represent three wires in a single extrusion. So for a typical 20 circuit sub panel wiring only the circuits will cut your runs by 1/2 -2/3's.
