I am so happy! SOLIDWORKS R&D listened to us!
Looks like in SW2020 Detached functionality is merged in the standard drawings!!!
Finally we have a drawing environment that is responsive to detailers.
One more note: if you will benefit from this huge enhancement, send a thank you note to our forum colleague, .
Long story, short, everything started with Grant.
Also, many thanks to , Mark Johnson for being the first to listen to Grant and for bringing in the cavalry.

Update: Detailing mode made it through BETA testing and is now in the 202 version of SOLIDWORKS!!!
