Sketching in Drawings

I
would like to see the sketching capabilities from part studio added
to the drawing environment.
Some
basic flat parts do not need full 3D to get them manufactured. A
simple 2D drawing on a title block will work to keep with
company/manufacturing standards. I know you can created a 2D sketch
in the part studio and then show this sketch in drawings to have it
on a title block. This seems just 1 extra step not needed. I would
like the ability to open the drawing environment, start the sketch
and then print. This would also be ideal if we could open a .dwg or
.dxf in drawings and then edit it there without having to go to part
studio and back to drawings to finalize on a title block.
In
my vision you could either replace the line and spline command and
have the sketch icon in the toolbar which would open the sketch
toolbar, similar to how it is done in part studio. Or have a sketch
icon on the side and the sketch toolbar would open. Below or images
to refer to. I put the sketch toolbar below the main to show what
would appear but I think to save space, but ideally when the sketch
command is activate it would work similar to how it is done in part
studio where the main bar is replaced with sketch commands until you
exit.
