How to generate drawings like the published field drawings?

I'm not sure where to put this thread b/c I'm not sure if the drawings I'm talking about are generated in inventor or elsewhere.

My question is about the drawings that are published about the field, giving teams the ability to recreate field elements from accurate drawings. They have the first logo in the bottom right corner and there's usually a "cover" drawing with a sort of "finished product" then the pages that follow show each component and how it's constructed, and each page usually has a mini BOM in the corner.

My question is how do I recreate these drawings (from my own assemblies and parts in inventor)? Are they produced in inventor or somewhere else? If they aren't from inventor is there anyway that I can make them from Inventor (of my own assemblies and parts)?

Right now CAD has little to no place on our team because we have no way to practically use it. If we had the ability to make these drawings we could print them out and actually use them during the building process. It would sure be better than the drafting table and cardboard cutouts we're using now.

Thank you in advance and sorry for posting in the general forum area. If someone could help place this question better I'd appreciate that just as much as an answer.
