Sorry no that's not available in MoI right now - currently MoI is focused primarily on just the modeling and drawing part of things and not on annotation and printing stuff.

But I do expect to be adding those in the future. There was a step towards this functionality in MoI v3 with a new feature to export hidden line drawings to 2D drawing formats like PDF, AI, and DXF files which does make it easier to use MoI in combination with a 2D CAD program for adding the annotations.
