I created my full model and produced drawings of the parts.  
Good enough to hand off to a fabricator.  
Some of the parts in the model were painful to make a dimensioned drawing  
because the part is at a 45 degree angle from the front view of the model.

The drawing tool does not seem to have any features for projections on other planes than  
the standard orthogonal views.

I did a work around by making a copy of the part and rotating to the front view,  
produced the drawing, then deleted the copy.

Also seems to have no support for multiple cross-sections and detail views.

Projections, detail views, multiple cross sections are all necessary for complex machine parts.

And customized title blocks of course.

Blessings,  
Daniel

Hi @daniellerner , indeed there is a lot of room for improvement in Drawings. You can expect more features later this year.
