Threads on Shafts, Tolerances, Surface quality, Manufacturing definition, Assembly instructions

Hi, i am working on industrial product design.
Threads and Tolerances are important to make CAD work in the physical world.
The definition of how a precision surface is produced should be attached to CAD geometry. (surface roughness, precision, manufacturing method, hardness, adhesives, loctite, grease, oil... )
Assembly instructions like (adhesives, loctite, grease, oil... ) are also important.
A solution to the issues could be:
A surface attached to the solid with the size of the desired zone. The surface would have attributes (thread, precision fit, special surface treatment, lubrication, adhesives or comments).
These attributes could/should then be forwarded/accessed by the 2D Drawing, CAM, or be used for the representation in the renderer.
You know sometimes i do concepts and have ideas and want to be able to attach it to a region or surface of the CAD. And later when generating drawings/production_data i want these ideas/intentions to be present and accessible. Whether i or a coworker is doing the drawings/manfacturing, the intend or idea does not get lost!
This functionality would make onshape deluxe for productivity!
THX for voting and implementing!
*** The tool for holes is superb. ***
