create a drawing based on a inclined plane

I have created a plane (that is not parallel to the default planes like front etc. ) and created an part as an extrude from a sketch on that plane.
Now I would like to create a drawing that is based on that drawing. I selected the part and picked the menu Create Drawing from part. I tried to select another plane then front, ..., bottom etc and tried also projected and auxiliary view, and read the documentation and videos, but I didn't find the hint where I could select the plane I created.
The simplest use case is a roof. Or a even inclined cover mantling a part.
In order to create the part on e.g. a laser cutter the projections is not the thing needed. It should be the view that is orthogonal to that created plane. Is there a possibility to reference a plane created as the 'ground plan' for such a part?

Hi Jake,

We have new functionality for this! You can create a named view in the orientation that you would like your drawing to respect, and then create a drawing view that reflects that named view. Check out this post for instructions:
