Yes certainly it's possible to develop that for MoI in the future, and it is something that I'd like to add to MoI in the future but it is not something that has been a focus as of yet.

Currently you'll need to use MoI in combination with another program to handle that type of thing, one good option is to export out from MoI in DXF format and then use the free program Draftsight to prepare the documentation.

Right now it would be necessary to do the export route.

I guess it's possible but it involves quite a lot of work and so I wouldn't really expect for it to happen like that.
