What do you use for making mechanical drawings for manufacturing?

Looking to round out a workflow with some software, ideally cloud-based, that can create mechanical drawings from 3D part files.  This functionality is native to most desktop CAD packages (i.e. Solidworks).  I wonder what the community is using?

    Mostly just prints from 3d space or export to another package (installed on desktop). This function will be native with Onshape too.

    @jason_29 As you know we are working on this and it is getting closer to have it in prime time.  I am assuming you are looking for something right now in the meantime.  Personally I have not found something to do detailing of imports that is truly cloud based yet.  I will be interested to see what others are using currently.

    @lougallo, Have been using an autodesk product for this feature (offline); I would like to use OnShape exclusively.
