Is there a way to use the Onshape API with drawings (export to pdf, create drawings, etc.)

Thank you for the API for exporting drawings!1 -
Hi @mbartlett21,
You can specify the name of the exported file with the `destinationName` field in your POST parameters.

@mbartlett21,
1.) You can specify the extension in the name or you can let it be generated automatically based on the specified format.
2.) You can control outputted pdf text style using the `selectablePdfText` boolean POST parameter. It looks like that parameter and `destinationName` managed to escape our documentation, I have written a bug for this.
The lack of views appears to be a bug, could you please file a support ticket?
Best,
Mike

I appear to have gotten ahead of myself and forgot which version we are running on production
You can control the pdf text output with the 'textAsGeometry' parameter, where:
true = non-selectable text
false = selectable text5

Do I specify the extension in the name, or will it be added automatically?
Also: It seems the documentation for this is missing.

For some reason, exporting from the API makes the font different and selectable and there are no views:
The document is at https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ef81aa710b1f54522a53efef/w/bc41a65ea8d6dd5707c4488e/e/a2a29141b6db443f476ca508
Is there an option to disable text selection through the API?
