Summary: By building parts with stages marked in the browser similar to the End of Part Marker, we could show the stages of manufacturing in a drawing possibly with representations.
Description: Have Stage markers that could be put between features in a Part or SM and that are recognised within a drawing. You could put Stage1 after the first manufacturing stage and so on.
As we currently have an EOP marker we could have an EOS1, EOS2 markers (End of Stage 1, End of Stage 2)
How Used: When creating a drawing of a part/SM that has multiple stages of manufacture it would be possible to show each stage of manufacturing in a drawing. It's possible to do this via derived parts, but you end up with a lot of parts that aren't directly used in the assembly. Also if your manufacturing/production process changes for any reason yon now have to substitute an additional derived part/SM into the family sequence. At present, Presentations don't accept substituted parts/SM and there are other problems when trying to substitute a file in for another.
