Onshape 1.189 brings powerful new capabilities to your design workflow. From advanced analysis tools to enhanced modeling features, this release focuses on improving both functionality and user experience across multiple areas of the platform.

Let’s dive into the details.

Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents. Over the next few days, these features will also be available in Documents created before this update.

Part Studios

Thickness Analysis

A new analysis function enables designers of molded and die-cast parts to measure the amount of material distributed throughout each region of a part. At this time, only native Onshape parts and mesh model types are supported. 

Thickness Analysis is currently only available for Onshape Enterprise users, but it will soon be available for Onshape Professional and Onshape Education Enterprise users.

Sheet Metal Corner Break

The new Corner break feature combines Fillet and Chamfer features to remove sharp edges on sheet metal corners and corner/bend reliefs.

Edit Curve

A new Edit curve feature allows you to edit an existing curve by selecting sketch entities or curves to apply a simplified approximation, elevate the degree, reposition control curve vertices, and/or planarize into any 2D plane, and all downstream features update automatically to reflect these changes.

Dimension Entity Highlighting

Adding dimensions while sketching is now much easier to visualize.

Drawings

Hole Callout Text Justification

Hole callouts on a Drawing now provide more control over their appearance. 

Documents

Structure View

Structure view on the Documents page is now available for all Onshape Professional users. As a reminder, here is an overview of this great feature for navigating released product designs.

General

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

All commands in Part Studios and Assemblies can now be assigned custom keyboard shortcuts.

Action Items

The Action items user interface has been reworked to make it easier to navigate.

FeatureScript

Performance

The latest standard library removes the performance overhead of many of the FeatureScript wrappers around builtin functions. 

Render Studio

Decals

Decals added to a Part in a Part Studio are now imported as an Appearance in Render Studio.

Isolate

New Isolate option for Render Studio Parts, Part Studios, or Assemblies. Right-click on one or more entities and select Isolate from the context menu.  When Isolate is selected, all selected entities are viewable and all other entities are hidden in the graphics area.

Resource Version Indicator

Resources, such as images used for backgrounds, now have a resource indicator to let you know if they are current or require an update.

Reset All Tessellation

A new Reset all tessellation option, available from the top-level Render Studio in the Scene list, allows you to reset any custom tessellation settings for all entities below back to Auto.
