You said an original Fender Stratocaster pickguard won't fit the Ibanez, so I'm unsure what you want the drawing for.

Unless you plan to chew up the body of your Ibanez to put the new pickups in exactly the same place as the Strat, what you really need is a way to transfer the dimensions of the cutouts in your Ibanez to the material for your new pickguard.

A low-tech method, that actually works, if you're careful:

1) Find some fairly stiff paper that's a bit bigger than the final size of the pickguard.

2) Strip the guts out of your Ibanez. (There's no turning back, now!)

3) Smooth the paper over the front of the guitar body, taping it in place. It must be smooth, and snug!

4) Holding a pencil sideways, gently rub the side of the pencil lead at an angle across the edges of the pickup cutouts. Take care not to press the paper into the holes, as this will distort your pattern.

5) Mark the switch and control locations the same way.

6) Get as much information as possible. 'Trenches' between the pickup pockets, screw holes, any feature of the guitar body that you may want ot cover up, or make use of.

7) Carefully remove the tape, and lift the pattern clear of the guitar.

8) You can apply this pattern to the 'face' of your material, and cut and drill as required. Some spray-on rubber cement will hold the paper in place temorarily. Be sure to test a small area of the pickguard to make sure the glue doesn't do rude things to the material, and that it will peel off cleanly. Otherwise you have to 'trace' the lines onto the plastic by cutting along the pattern lines with a very sharp, pointy knife. If you cut some 1/4" holes in the pattern near the edges of the cutouts, you can tape across the holes to help hold the papre down to the material.

9) Cut your material, sand and polish the edges, and you're done. Easy, no? :D
