@colin_daly A detail view is currently not available within the drawing set of view creation tools. It's been requested by many folks. Not the answer you wanted to hear today, but nonetheless it is an important need. Onshape is building momentum with the releases. It's been impressive to watch the pace of the feature set being released every 3 weeks.colin_daly said:How can I create a magnified detail within a drawing?

@colin_daly ,At this stage detail view is not available in Onshape drawing. We can expect this in future updates.

@colin_daly You could work around this (somewhat laboriously)
If I badly needed a detail view under current circumstances, I would isolate a copy of that portion of the part in the Part Studio, then create a view of that new part, at a larger scale, in the drawing (on the same sheet).
One way to do this would be to draw a closed sketch the shape of the desired boundary of the detail view (traditionally a circle), use "Transform" to make a "Copy in Place" of the parent part, then extrude the boundary through the copied part only, selecting the "intersection" option (equivalent to "Flip Side to Cut" in Solidworks)
Optionally, before using it for the detail view, you could derive the resulting part into a new Part Studio, and hide it in the original one.1
