So there's no way to tell KeyShot, draw some lines with X angle, Y length + add a label at Z distance from the object so that they all look the same? I saw many CAD softwares can do that: in the 2D drawing tools you can select the parts you want and generate lines with bullet points + a table for spare parts exploded views. It would be so nice if you could automate the process also within Keyshot...

KeyShot isn't CAD software. It's rendering and animation software. That's makes a difference.
