Surface export for 2D dimensioning

Hi,
I’m trying to export surfaces relative to their local axis so the client can do their own dimensioning.

PDF export seems to only export relative to a projection view, so the linear 3D distances varies for anything that is off-axis.

IGES export for photoshop/3D pdf works correctly, but requires a 3D context.

Ideally, I’d like to export surface panels to 2D pdfs or illustrator files and maintain true linear dimensions.

I tried to use the CPlane thinking that it would reorient the coordinate system to selected geometry, but the exported geometry dimensions were scaled down.

Has anyone developed a process that might help me?

Thanks.
