What's New: Dynamic Suppression, Centrifugal Load, and Slack Integration

CAD

DYNAMIC SUPPRESSION

Create logical expressions to determine when a feature should be suppressed or unsuppressed. Dynamic suppression can also be used in configurations.

ANGULAR VELOCITY LOAD (CENTRIFUGAL LOAD)

Support for applying Angular velocity loads in Simulation, enabling centrifugal force analysis on rotating components.

SHOW MAX/MIN SIMULATION VALUES

Simulation plots for Linear static simulations can now highlight maximum and minimum result values directly on the model for faster interpretation.

GRAPHICS PREFERENCES

New Graphics preferences in the Camera and render options menu let you set line width, shininess, specular color, and field of view. These options are especially useful for surface modeling. Preferences persist across all documents and can be reset to their default values.

LEVEL OF DETAIL IMPROVEMENTS TO GRAPHICS

If the level of detail of a part at a specific zoom level requires representation at a higher level of detail, and that higher level of detail is not available, it will be generated on demand, resulting in improved graphics without a reduction in performance.

Disegni

VIEW ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT CHANGES

The Rotate view functionality has been moved to a right-click submenu where users can specify horizontal or vertical rotation by selecting geometry from the view. A new Align views option allows users to align views to one another through a right-click menu, with the ability to specify vertical or horizontal alignment.

DRIVING DIMENSIONS SUPPORT FOR TOLERANCE, PRECISION, AND OTHER PROPERTIES

Driving dimensions in Drawings now support custom decimal precision, tolerances, and Format painter formatting for faster, consistent detailing.

SKETCHER INFERENCING

Sketching in drawings now includes inferencing to help align and snap geometry more accurately.

Gestione dei dati

WARNING WHEN DRAWINGS REUSE INSTANCE PART NUMBER AND ONLY ONE IS SELECTED FOR OBSOLETION

A warning is displayed when only one of several items sharing the same reused part number is marked obsolete. The items must also be created as part of the same Release candidate in order for this notification to appear when creating the Obsolete candidate.

Collaborazione

SLACK INTEGRATION FOR ONSHAPE ENTERPRISE

Slack integration with Onshape Enterprise allows for Release candidates, Tasks, and Comments to be bi-directionally shared, so information flows to where team members work. Slack commands can be used to view the top 20 most recent documents and the top 10 most recent task lists directly from Slack.

RENDER STUDIO

AXF APPEARANCES FOR RENDER STUDIO ADVANCED

Adds support for AxF measured materials, enabling physically accurate scanned appearances to be applied to Render Studio models.

NAVIGATION SPEED IMPROVEMENTS

Improved pan, zoom, and rotate performance in Render Studio, especially in scenes containing a large number of instances (1000's).

MOBILE

SNAP CAD TO REAL GEOMETRY IN AR VIEW

AR View now supports snapping CAD geometry to real-world features to improve alignment when overlaying designs on physical objects.

LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO ONSHAPE ASSEMBLIES

The Learning Center now features the Introduction to Onshape Assemblies course where you can master the essentials of Onshape Assemblies. Explore the Onshape mates that bring assemblies to life by defining their degrees of freedom. Discover how to easily position and adjust assembly components with the intuitive triad manipulator. Reinforce your knowledge through hands-on exercises that help you master positioning, mating, and structuring assemblies.

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.

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. Mobile app interface updates occur via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and happen in the days following the update.
