It has only been 17 days since our last release, and we are back with another one. This update includes a long list of improvements in areas like assemblies, drawings, and more. Let's dive in.
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.
Assembly Improvements
Lock/Follow Subassembly
You can now lock the position of a subassembly within a top-level assembly. When enabled, the movement of the subassembly is restricted. You also have the option to follow a subassembly named position. This allows you to use named positions from the subassembly to orient the subassembly in the top level.
Isolate and Make Transparent Assembly Folder
Folders in the Instances list of an assembly can now be isolated and made transparent.
Implicit Mate Connector in Assembly Patterns
It is now possible to use implicit mate connectors when defining an assembly pattern. This makes it easier to create patterns with geometry that doesn't have an easily defined reference.
Set to Min/Max Mate Limits
You can now set a mate's position to either its minimum or maximum mate limit value.
Reorder Named Positions
Named positions can now be reordered. When right-clicking a Named position you will see new options to "Move up" or "Move down".
Part Studio Improvements
Normal to Face Curve Pattern
You will find new a new "Normal to face" orientation option when creating Curve pattern features in Onshape. This new option creates a pattern that is normal to selected faces at each pattern instance along the curve.
Drawing Improvements
Nominal and Tolerance Column in Inspection Panel
You can now add Nominal and Tolerance as a single column to your company's Inspection tables. In the past, these were only available as two separate columns.
Group Callouts with View
You can now group callouts with a view. When grouped, callouts move with the view.
General Improvements
Clear All Selections
When right-clicking a set of selections, you will find a new option to "Clear all" selections. In the past, the only way to clear all selections was with the spacebar.
Release Management Improvements
Reset Part Number Type
You will find a new company setting for "Change Part number type" under "Revision tools." This new option allows you to reset a given part number, allowing it to be used by a different object type.
Learning Center Improvements
The Onshape Learning Center has a completely new landing page with buttons to guide you on your learning journey. The CAD Basics and Onshape Fundamentals pathways have been updated with new content essential to succeeding in Onshape.
Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments in the Onshape Forums post. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.
