I'm still learning, but if it was that simple, I could just check a box/override/etc and when I gave less experienced (or less creative?) drafters my work, they could just print it vs. charging me to remake it all as drawings... which of course is really horrible if changes need to be made...

It's not too heavy a coding task, so yeah... Essential. Just like INTUITIVE SCHEDULES VIA LAYERS for CLIENT based flexibility/changes around costs.
