Description

This is an awesome project and huge improvement over FreeCAD python API. Chainable methods makes it so compact. Excellent work.

However, for me 2D drawings with dimensions are more important then 3D models.
I my organization we have lots of relatively simple configurable products and sales cycle is very short, sales guys don't have time to ask Engineering for every customization which are mostly dimensional changes. I understand CQ can be used as a library and possibly from the web app like flask, Web app would interact with user via form data input and return 2D SVG as a result. This can be converted to pdf. STEP model would be offered if needed.
But, what is missing are DIMENSIONS. Without dimensions, two similar shape models would look the same, and this is a communication between non-engineers

I read comments in your source code about FreeCAD's SVG Export and wondering if that could be improved with dimensions added and if you have any ideas in that direction.

Thanks
