Inserting Assembly Process Flow diagram into inventor drawing

Hi All, 

Not sure how many of you are familiar with SolidWorks Treehouse, but I would like to do something based of this idea in Inventor. I would like a graphic very similar in style to the one shown below on the second page of a drawing set, that shows how the different parts are put together into sub-assemblies, which then go into the main assemblies. I think the technical term might be assembly process flow drawings. Iterating through the BOM, and extracting the data I think is reasonably simple, the two parts that I think I'm unsure about are:

1. What's the best way to create the graphics, I could foreseeably make this work in autoCAD, but a more polished solution would be ideal. As an outside idea, I also wonder whether the easiest way might be to just draw the process as an automated 3D model

2. What's the best format to insert it into a drawing view. Would a graphic work? an excel sheet would possibly be an option, but I would like something a little more polished then is as well I think

If anyone has an thoughts or experience with this, it would be much appreciated

 

Kind Regards
