Add an option to "place" an artboard inside an artboard of the same drawing.
Could it be possible to place an artboard in another one?
I have a particular workflow in which I have to create an illustration to be printed, and I have a "technical drawing" with some dimensions and comments related to the illustration on another page.
In order to have only one document to keep both illustration and technical drawing synched, it could be fine to have this feature.

I bet I saw a request like this before, but can’t find one.
I know of two workarounds:
1. Make a rectangle instead and then use Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards — I use it all the time and have a hotkey assigned to it.
2. Create an artboard elsewhere outside of the other one and then drag it in place (with the Move Everything Together With Tt disabled).
3. I wish there was a third one, 'to hold Space bar while creating an artboard to reposition it, like we can with shapes' — but it doesn’t exist, and here is the request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45845635
