Is there a means of adding reference lines to 2D Drawings generated from a model?

I am trying to create a drawing for a cardboard shipping box. I realize at this time, that Onshape does not have capability in regards to sheet metal and folding parts, so I'm attempting to generate a 2D drawing showing the flattened box, but trying to drawing "reference lines" on the 2D drawing to provide reference to the fold lines. I can't figure out a way to add a dashed line on the drawing (I can add lines, but I can't change the properties of the line... a solid line appears to be the only option).
I have attempted to utilize the "line" function and the "2 Point Centerline" but neither method produces a result I'm looking for.
Is there a workaround, or is this function not available yet?
Thanks,
Steve M

As a workaround, you can split the faces on your model. Now in your drawing, you have an entity you can dimension to.
