Description
Drawing text is a critical component in most CAD-involved projects (in order to add dimensions, callouts, title blocks, etc.). Adding text to SVG outputs is trivial but adding text to other options such as DFX may not be without some documentation and possibly shim methods. This is a great project and by adding the ability to include dimensions and so forth without having to dig into source code, it would be even more useful.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying Maker.js's current drawing and export surfaces, especially SVG and other output options, then define the supported text, dimension, callout, and title-block scope; done requires a documented, usable way to add these elements without digging into source code.
