I have got it to work properly.
Mapping:
Master Alt: ALT ON; Master BAT: MASTER BAT ON; Avionics Bus 1: No assignment; Avionics Bus 2: TOGGLE EXTERNAL POWER; Ignition Off: APU STOP; Ignition R: APU SET; Ignition L: APU START;
Cold aircraft:
Bat Sw ON; ALT Sw OFF: Start APU
Bring up Elect synoptics; APU Gen is on line. BTB Closed.
Start Engines; CAS MSG :Gen OFF L&R, Gen open.
Select ALT ON: Gens come on line, APU drops off line: CAS: GEN OFF APU Gen is now off line.
Shut down APU: GEN OFF APU mag disappears.
ALL is now normal.
If this does not work, recheck for other bindings that might be interfering.
Note this also works if A/c is using gnd pwr. The Avionics bus 2 switch needs to be momentarily selected as it is bound to a toggle function.
ENG Shutdown with APU running:
ALT Master Sw to OFF: A/C Gens drop off line & APU gen comes on line.

Thanks, that worked! Even though the APU GEN switch is physically staying in the OFF position, electrically it worked as you described - good enuff for me!

Please, what is BTB? Can’t find it with a search.

Thanks
