Using fusion in a Non CNC (or pre-CNC workflow)

I'm working on a project kind of similar to the one described in this video:
"Designing a Lasercut Laptop Stand with Fusion 360"

I understand the idea of designing in Fusion and exporting to a service bureau to laser cut the material. But what if you want to make it yourself? There seems to be no print button, so how do you get those beautiful sketches to the shop floor? I can export a DXF, open it in Illustrator and print, but it has no distance markings, no hole diameters and thus pretty useless.
Does one have to go to the full Inventor product to get a print button?
I get it that CNC is the wave of the future, but sometimes it's useful to make a prototype in-house to find problems early before uploading to a service bureau. Sometimes the service bureau doesn't have the material needed. Old fashioned printed drawings would be very nice.
