I've updated the TechDraw_Roadmap with my plan for 2023. Comments are welcome.
If there are developers with time on their hands any of the items in the last section would make a good project.

Re: TD Roadmap Updated
Hello @wandererfan
How about lines and points scaling according to zoom level? Right now the more we zoom, the more lines and points become thicker.
It also would be useful if area outside page could have been "fully" used. Right now we can place views on it, but we cannot infinitely pan.
Pan is only possible if we zoom.
This features are not must have, but they would really improve TechDraw workflow.

Re: TD Roadmap Updated
Find attached two small macros, increasing and decreasing the Vertex Scale. Workflow:
- open a TechDraw page
- start the macro IncreaseVertexScale.FCMacro to increase
or
- start the macro DecreaseVertexScale.FCMacro to decrease
the scale of all vertexes in the page by factor 1.0.
The two macros increase or decrease the global TechDraw parameter Vertex Scale usually managed by:
Edit - Preferences - TechDraw - Scale - Vertex Scale
edit: sorry, there was a bug in the macros. I replaced them, please download again.
Re: TD Roadmap Updated
Thanks for your work, this is one of the most important parts of FreeCAD.
Re: TD Roadmap Updated
Hope the mentioned
"* the "lesser topological naming problem"
* primarily making dimensions survive the renaming of reference geometry"
will come true in 2023.
Thanks for your great work!

Re: TD Roadmap Updated
I just wanted to say I've seen a lot of improvements in Techddraw WB. The performance is MUCH better and the additional tools in 0.21 have been great. I use it a lot to show assemblies and in the past when I did multiple views, it took forever to update the drawings whenever I made a simple change. It is doing it much faster now.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for your work on this and the improvements that have been made are noticed!
