Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Just an idea I am throwing out there. In altium, it is possible to make 2d engineering drawings of the PCB
image

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be nice to be able to make similar types of documents (even without the reference designators), with some of the most important dimensions (width, length, pcb/component height on both sides). This might be possible with the FreeCAD API

Describe alternatives you've considered
Importing the STEP into FreeCAD or Fusion360 or any CAD and doing the 2D drawings there. Another alternative is to generate PNG pictures (e.g. with blender or 3d viewer) and add them with Include Image, but that doesn't include the dimensions (and shading style is different)

I don't know much about using FreeCAD, much less about its Python API.
