The summer fun keeps rolling on and so do Onshape's improvements!

USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON CONTEXT MENU ICONS

When right-clicking on something, you'll now see icons in the context menu that appear.

SEARCH RESULT SORTING

When searching for something, you now have the option to filter results by their modified date and their name.

PERFORMANCE PANEL ALERTS

You will now see an alert on the Performance Panel if there are instances where an error occurs because your browser isn't supported, there is a region mismatch, or there are errors with WebGL.

ASSEMBLY IMPROVEMENTS

TANGENT EDGE DISPLAY OPTIONS FOR ASSEMBLIES

When working with assemblies, you can now toggle the tangent edge display between visible, phantom, and hidden for a cleaner look at your model.

COPY/PASTE MATE NAME UPDATES

If you want to copy and paste instances in an assembly, mates associated with the copied instances will now add an instance counter to differentiate them from one another.

ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS

ANALYTICS ACTION ITEMS DASHBOARD

You will find a new Action Items category when viewing analytics in Onshape Enterprise. The two new dashboards were created to provide another layer of accountability for task tracking, making it easier to understand pressing objectives and user workloads.
