Chris,
At my last job, I generated drawings for Patents. Most of these were images from Pro/E that were saved out to DXF (2D ISO type drawing images) then inputted into Word Documents. The reason was that the attorney that they used wanted them in Word format. I would have to see what was being described in the text, then produce either a cut-a-way or an exploded views to allow for the balloons and arrows to be added. We did not add them in Pro/E, they were added in word, this allowed them to be modified down stream since the text can change on a day to day basics (item numbers changing along with the text).
