CNC tube bending Drawing

Hi all,
I have a pretty complex 3D CNC tube bending to put into production.
The preferred drawing requested by the supplier uses a table to reference the bends coordinates.
My question is: What would be the best workflow in Onshape to have this result. Is there some level of automation possible?
I know there has been a lot of work by the community for custom features about 3D tube routing . And I suspect custom tables could be useful too.
However I am not yet very comfortable with comfortable with all that.
If someone has a clear idea on what workflow would be suitable and what features I should be looking into?
Thanks a lot

Im one of the developers on the Frames featureset. I'd love to hear more about a) what you need b) what your tube suppliers need c) what you have liked/disliked about other CAD and CAM packages doing similar things. I would have characterized this as a CAM need rather than a CAD need -- but I'd much rather hear from customers than relying on my own wrong conclusions! Could I ask you both for a favor? Please file this with support (same process as creating a ticket). Discussing on the forums is great and I want to encourage it but generating that improvement request starts the paper trail the product and dev teams need to start design and scoping discussions.
