Plugin to create visual part (component) list?

Hi,

I'm currently doing some simple woodworking: A holder for two solar panels.

I have manually created a model with all the relevant components and their dimensions, here inserted in LayOut:

It is quite tedious to copy, move and rotate all the components to the same plane, to create a page like this, so my question is: Is there any plugin that can automate this? (I have been googling for a while.)

Regards

There is a plugin that will give you a cutlist and will do a layout of the parts but it only shows the bounding box dimensions so it won't show the various cuts.

Yeah, I found that in my search, quite cool (although I couldn't find a way to enter custom (metric) board sizes). But not quite what I'm looking for.

Thanks, though.

The custom board sizes is a feature that is coming.

Great, I'm looking forward to that!
