I'm trying to create a vertical line in a drawing (title block border) but I can't find a way to do it apart from lining it up by eye. Is it possible to create a vertical constraint on a drawing line, or press a shortcut key to snap it to vertical?

You're better off drawing your titleblock in a part studio then insert it into the drawing to make your template.
Or use AutoCAD or DraftSight or some other free 2D cad that can save dxf/dwg/dwt files.
In a part studio, sketch your titleblock
then right click the sketch and export as DXF
Then choose the download option to "store in new tab"
Then insert the DXF into your drawing
Once you have everything positioned and your text blocks set
select everything and move to titelblock
Do I think it will be available eventually. Yeah, I bet it would. But with the work arounds we have today, it is just barely enough to get by.
I consider this work around a band-aid until they can develop something better. That seems to be Onshape's way. They don't just copy what everyone else does, they try and do it better. But Onshape is still young and has a way to go. More for some industries than others.
