    Yes, technically, by inserting a sketch, but I suspect you are really asking is it possible to create a drawing in OS using classic 2D drawing tools and techniques? Unfortunately the answers is no.

    From what I can tell Onshape has zero interest in, and will never provide classic 2D drawing functionality. I am quite sure existing OS shape customers augment their MCAD tool suite with a classic 2D drawing tool purchased another vendor; I do not see how a company can operate without one. 

    You might want to checkout Grabert Kudo for Onshape in the app store ($9/month for their cloud based version) if you want something that has some form of integration in Onshape to manage/create and manipulate DWG/DXF drawings.
