Custom perspective view in drawings?

in Drawings
My company does a lot of patent drawing work, and we have started to shift into using OnShape more than Solidworks.
In SW, we would pick a custom perspective to best show the part we were filing in the patent, then export a drawing, open it in Illustrator, and make the necessary tweaks needed to file a patent.
I don't see a way to export perspective drawings other than the standard isometric view in OnShape, am I missing something?

Please submit this as an enhancement request.
That said, there is a work around for custom orientations.
Create a custom orientation 'block' (a part that contains faces at the orientations you want).
Create a new assembly.
Insert the 'orientation' block
Insert the assembly you want to orient.
Mate the assembly to the block.
Insert a drawing view (standard orientation) of this new assembly - and you will have your custom orientation.
I hope this helps.
