What’s New: Improvements to Repair Manager, UX, Render Studio

While we may be focused on stability and performance for this release and the next, we still have some exciting improvements to show you.

When you are done here, make sure to check out the changelog to see what else we have been working on. Let's get started.

CAD Improvements

Repair Manager Improvements

Improvements have been made to Repair Manager that allow you to forward propagate some references. The new Replace reference option allows you to replace a broken reference in the current feature, and propagate that replaced reference downstream to any features that use that reference.

Shortcut Key Improvements

You can now add Section view, Mass and section properties, and Measure and section properties to your shortcut toolbar. This gives you quick access to some of Onshape's most popular features.

Render Studio Improvements

Scene List Improvements

You will find new, more advanced Scene list filters in Render Studio. These filters include the ability to filter by criteria like appearance and decals. This allows you to quickly filter the scene list. You will also find the scene list has been split and now has two panes. The top pane contains the scene geometry, as well as Transforms and Projectors, while the bottom pane contains Appearances.

Reset Appearance on Faces

If faces have an appearance set in the Part Studio, and their appearance is changed in Render Studio, they can now be reset to the original Part Studio appearance via the Scene list or graphics area context menu.

Focal Length Field of View

You can now define Field of view by focal length. In the past, this was limited to angle.

Learning Center Improvements

New Localized Training

You will find two new localized offerings available in the Learning Center. The Onshape Hands-on Test Drive is now offered with Japanese subtitles and text and Onshape Bootcamp is offered with Traditional Chinese subtitles and text.
