Hey All,
Super noob here...
TL;DR: Is there an EDA that lets me take an existing CVS and Gerber file and make a FAB and ASSY drawing?

I'm trying to get some boards assembled, and the PCB assy company I'm talking to requested FAB and ASSY drawings so they can give me a more accurate quote. I have examples of what they're looking for, just no efficient way of making them.

I've been using EasyEDA to design the board and have already had a few revisions of the PCB made for hand soldering, but as far as I can tell, there is no tool in EasyEDA that lets me make FAB or ASSY drawings. I suppose the chinese PCB company makes their own drill and plug files from the gerber I send them. I use the DOC layer to designate v-cuts/grooves, and other bits of info, but the FAB drawing does include more detailed info for the witness marks and such ( I assume).

Is there a CVS converter or an other EDA that lets me make those drawings? I checked out KiCAD's site and unless it's a unlisted plug-in I did see it. The hard part is that I dont know exactly what terms to search for, for a capable software.

Thanks!
