What's New in Onshape? (July 15, 2020)

It's July already, and we are here again with another update. This release includes a highly requested new feature as well as several improvements in different areas of Onshape. Let's get started.

CATEGORIES

You can now manage your properties with Categories in Onshape Professional and Enterprise. This new functionality allows you to efficiently display properties depending on the category they belong to.

FLIP NORMAL WHEN CREATING PLANES

You can now flip the normal direction of a construction plane.

DRAFT IMPROVEMENTS

Implied and Explicit Mate Connectors can now be used as the reference for a neutral plane when creating a draft.

APPEARANCE IMPROVEMENTS

You can now assign appearances to features in a Part Studio. This simplifies the process of applying appearances and allows them to update parametrically with the features.

MEASURE IMPROVEMENTS

You will see new icons for Measure and Mass Properties at all times in the bottom right corner of a Part Studio or Assembly.

ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS

You will find two new permissions dashboards when viewing analytics in Onshape Enterprise. These were created to give you better insight into how data is being shared in your company.

Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments below. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.

NOTE: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Onshape Documents, and over the next few days these features will also be available in Documents created before the date of this update.
