What’s New: Width Mate, Sheet Metal Cone, Drawings Improvements

It's been three weeks and we are back again with an exciting new update. It includes two of our most popular requests and a number of quality of life improvements. Let's dig in.

CAD Improvements

Width Mate

You will find a new Width mate in Onshape assemblies. This new mate makes centering parts in the assembly easier than ever. 

Sheet Metal Cone

The Thicken option in the Sheet metal model feature now supports conical faces. This gives you the ability to create conical geometry that unfolds.

Horizontal Scrollbar on Bill of Materials

The BOM horizontal scrollbar is available without scrolling to the bottom.

Horizontal Resize of Insert Dialog

The Insert dialog, used in many places to add entities (for example, to add instances in Assemblies), can now be resized horizontally.

Drawing Improvements

Tangent Arc

Earlier this year we announced the ability to create parametric sketches in drawings. With this update, we are adding the ability to sketch a tangent arc in a drawing.

Callout Justification

You can now control text justification of callout items on a drawing. You will find a new Text justification option under Callouts in Drawing properties.
