Our 14th release of the year comes full of improvements in a lot of different areas. Let's jump right in.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
EXCLUDE HIDDEN PARTS ON EXPORT
You can now choose if hidden instances are included or excluded from an output file during export.
PART STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
PARTIAL FILLET END CONDITIONS
Two new end conditions have been added to the fillet feature, allowing you to parametrically define partial length fillets. The Entity End type allows you to select a reference at which to terminate the fillet. The Offset End type allows you to define a distance from the end of the fillet edge at which to terminate the fillet.
ELEVATE DEGREE OF BEZIER SKETCH CURVE
You can now elevate the degree of a Bezier sketch entity. Elevating the degree maintains the identical sketch geometry, while adding additional control points.
ASSEMBLY IMPROVEMENTS
MASS PROPERTY CALCULATION WITH ITEMS EXCLUDED FROM BOM
An icon and warning have been added to indicate if a total calculated mass of an assembly does not include any part or assembly instances that are excluded from the Bill of materials. This is true for computed values in the Bill of material's table, and the assembly properties dialog.
A calculated assembly mass viewed from the Mass and section properties dialog always includes all instances, regardless of their status in the BOM.
UNFIX PARTS FROM TOP-LEVEL INSTANCES
Right-click on any assembly or subassembly and select the new Unfix all command to unfix all fixed instances within the selected subassemblies, folders, parametric Part Studios, patterns, and replicates.
DRAWINGS IMPROVEMENTS
DETAIL VIEW STYLES
New Detail view styles have been added. The default Detail view style can be set from the Drawing properties panel.
PROJECTED BREAK VIEWS SYNC WITH PARENT
If a Parent view contains a break, any Projected views created from that view inherits the break.
ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS
NOTIFICATION OF GLOBAL PERMISSIONS CHANGE
When a change is made to your company's Global permissions, all Administrators are notified of the change by email.
RENDER STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
DELETE MULTIPLE INSTANCES
You can now multi-select and delete multiple instances at once in a Render Studio via the Scene list context menu. Note that you cannot delete faces or parts underneath a Part Studio/Assembly.
MERGE CHANGES
You can now Merge changes in a Render Studio. This allows you to leverage Onshape's powerful parallel design workflows through design branches, even when working on a rendering of your product.
SELECT MULTIPLE APPEARANCES
Selecting multiple appearances at once, you can now navigate between your selections from the Appearance panel. Each appearance will independently cross-highlight the geometry it is applied to.
INDICATION OF MANUAL TESSELLATION OVERRIDE
Any instances using a tessellation setting other than "Auto" displays a diamond icon in the Instance list. Hovering over the icon provides a tooltip showing the selected tessellation level.
LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
CERTIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS
The Certified Onshape Associate and Professional exams have been moved to a new platform that is embedded directly in the Learning Center. We hope this provides a more streamlined experience.
The Associate exam has been completely overhauled, including new modeling challenges and multiple choice questions.
INTRODUCTION TO THE ONSHAPE API COURSE
We are excited to release a new Introduction to the Onshape API course in the Learning Center. Learn the fundamentals of the Onshape API using the Onshape Glassworks API Explorer, which allows you to make API calls with zero code.
