Circuit Studio Fab Drawing Output

I'm trying to generate a fab drawing with circuit studio and having a little difficulty. I found the assembly drawing output, which is nice, but it's lacking a lot of info I typically put on a fab drawing including stack up info, finished requirements, and tolerances. I saw that Altium has something called Draftsman. Is there an equivalent for Circuit Studio? https://www.altium.com/documentation/18.0/display/ADES/((Draftsman))_AD

I also came across this link, which is approaching what I need, but not quite there and a bit clumsy (import a dxf etc).

Any ideas?

A Draftman Plugin for Circuit Studio would be nice. Please integrate the Draftman Plugin in the next Circuit Studio Version or sold this Plugin for some Money.

Draftsman is a feature that is not available in CircuitStudio but you can generate assembly drawings, BOMs, layer stack reports and similar but not as a single integrated document.

A draftsman like plugin would be very useful. A fab drawing (including dimensions, tolerances, fab notes, different views, etc) is really a required item for mass production boards and right now there doesn't appear to be a great way to do this in CS. Any chance that CS would integrate this functionality into the tool?

Nope. That's an upgrade option that costs 5KGBP and is called Altium Designer.

On the bright side, folks have been mass producing PCBs for decades using the old fashioned technique of putting said information in the gerbers, or perhaps even a readme.txt
