Welcome to our SECOND release this month! Let's dive into some of the new features.
CAD IMPROVEMENTS
BILL OF MATERIAL ITEMS
We're excited to share a highly-requested feature for enhancing product bill of materials (BOMs).
Please note: You must be the company admin in order to add or change Items.
CALLOUT AND TABLE IMPROVEMENTS
This release includes numerous improvements for tables and the callout feature for ballooning drawings.
Fixed corners are applied to any type of table that you create.
Callouts can also now be created even without a leader. This can be useful for creating pure-text balloons, such as for revision markers or flag notes.
MORE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Another release means more performance improvements. With this release, you can expect to see improved performance on drawing view creation for assemblies with many repeated instances. You'll also see the material library dialog populate much more quickly than before.
VERSIONS AND HISTORY IN DETAILS PANE
Versions and History for an Onshape Document can now be conveniently viewed from the details pane, without having to open the Document.
ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS
CUSTOM WORKFLOWS FOR RELEASE MANAGEMENT
You may now configure both the Release and Obsoletion workflows that your company utilizes within Onshape.
Configuration of these workflows can be completed by editing and uploading a .json file. For more information, please take a look at the Help Documentation.
ACTIVITY VIEW ON DETAILS PANE
The Activity Feed now shows the information about a Document, details of the Document’s recent activity, and Document share permissions.
FEATURESCRIPT IMPROVEMENTS
GROUPING OF FEATURESCRIPT PARAMETERS
FeatureScript parameters can now be grouped to save space in input dialogs. A parameter group can be associated with a driving boolean parameter that hides or shows the group's parameters.
More information on parameter grouping can be found HERE.
AUTOSUGGEST DEFINITION PARAMETERS
When defining a function's action, FeatureScript will now autofill available definition parameters from the precondition.
