New Custom Feature: Publish Geometry
Directly inspired (copied) from @GregBrown's great Top Down video, I wrote my own version of Publish Geometry, which allows you to make Composite Parts that can include Bodies, Faces, Sketch regions, Curves, and Mate Connectors.
One Derive can bring in all of this stuff as a single Composite Part to use as reference geometry for further design work.
I think the script is ok, but let me know if you find bugs.
Improvement Request: Change a variable scope
When working on a part I often create variables that I later find would have been better defined in a variable studio or as a configuration variable. I think it would be nice if I could select a variable and change it to a configuration variable, a variable table, or a part studio — options would depend on where the variable is currently defined.
Re: Vehicle coordinate system
Here's the link to the improvement request I made earlier:
Maybe other automotive/naval/aerospace designers could add their support to it?

Chris, sounds like your "route curve" parametrics are held together with duct tape and hope
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 13th, 2024
This line of the changelog was accidentally added and has been removed. There was no change to how pre-selection works for sketches in this release.
Re: Vehicle coordinate system
@martin_kopplow thanks for taking the time to reply! Makes more sense now! :)

Re: EDITING TOOLS IN ONSHAPE DRAWINGS
Eric. I've been putting the whole format in one sketch which eliminates placement of individual sketches in the drawing. I also add an outline box around the border the same size as drawing size then delete in the drawing template to get centering. As to the dynamic notes that include part or drawing properties, well I just eyeball as best I can.
Title block can be a separate tab and derived into each format if you like.
