We are back with another big update. This update includes exciting new technology and a long list of highly requested new features. Let's dive in.
Onshape AI Advisor (Beta)
The Onshape AI Advisor is an AI-powered Onshape expert created using Onshape’s large library of learning materials. It is available to everyone in the Onshape Learning Center.
CAD Improvements
Sketch Constraint Manager
The new sketch constraint manager provides a detailed, filterable list of all sketch constraints that highlights conflicts and external references. Delete any of the sketch’s dimensions, constraints, and entities from this list.
Window Box Deselect
A crossing window can now be used to deselect geometry by using the CTRL key.
Keyboard Shortcut Improvements
Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to Collapse all in list and Expand all in list.
Drawings Improvements
Projected Views and Section Views on Views With Breaks
When creating a projected view or a section view from another view with breaks, the view inherits the same break definition. Section views can also be created directly from a view with breaks.
Automatic Centermarks for Parts with Linear Patterns
Parts that contain linear patterns now provide automatic centermarks and centerlines upon view insertion.
Custom Datum Target Area
Datum target symbols can now be created using a custom sketched-in shape or area region of your model.
Datum Attachment to Width Dimensions
Datum symbols can be attached directly to a dimension value for a width, adding it to the extension line, ensuring datum symbols move in-line with the dimension.
Enterprise Improvements
Release Audit Dashboard Improvements
Release notes and the names of approvers from Release Candidates now appear in the Release Audit dashboard.
Render Studio Improvements
Match Scene Properties
Match all scene properties of the current Render Studio tab with those of another Render Studio tab. These include settings from the Scene panel, Environment panel, and Named views.
Persistence of Render Option Settings
Render option settings are remembered from the latest render. Settings are retained after the page is refreshed and after logging out and back in. These settings are tab specific.
CAM Studio Improvements
Tool Library Units
When creating or editing a tool, an option exists for a separate unit (Inch or Millimeters) for each cutter, holder, and arbor beyond the Document Workspace units. The unit will also be saved to the library.
Learning Center Improvements
Multi-Part Part Studio Course Improvements
The Multi-Part Part Studios course has been completely redone. It includes brand-new videos and exercises to help users design more effectively.
