Glad to hear it!

In the past, I have exported .png or .pdf files from PCB, and then
embedded the fab drawing as an object into a SolidWorks drawing. Then
I have added all the other shrubbery required for a professional fab
drawing.
I have done the same thing with Visio, too. You could use any drawing
package which imports .png or .pdf.
PCB doesn't do nice looking fab drawings right now.
