Not that I know of, best I reckon you could do would be to draw a "blank" one with boxes you can put text into and use it as a base template for your drawings.

Or, you could go here http://www.alibre.com/support/downloads.aspx and download the FREE "Express" version which has that facility built in and will Import your BobCAD file as a DXF, you can also download free "PDF Creator" which will print out the drawing as a PDF file in various sizes such as A3, A4 etc, etc.

See screen grab below.

Here is what you can do with a little work in BobCAD, I cheated and just imported a .dxf just for speed and demo.
Bit "rough and ready" but should be good enoughto get the idea across I hope!!

You can simply draw up something like the one I`ve done in the attached files and then save it out as anything, I chose "BobCAD Blank" for the demo. Then you can just open it do your drawing and save first as a .bbcd under a different name so you could re-open in BobCAD if any alterations were needed. Then if you have downloaded the PDFCreator you only need to click File > Print > and select "PDFCreator" as the printer and it will create a .pdf file that you can print off to whatever size your printer will handle.

I`ve attached the .bbcd file and the .pdf for you.

Hope the idea works for you, maybe BobCAD will pick up this ball and run with it???
