Re: Improvements to Onshape - October 1st, 2019
With all this talk of face properties, hopefully the ability to colour faces and have this hold on export and import will work too soon. Colour faces was a regular feature I used in SolidWorks and I am pretty sure their colours hold after export.
Re: How do you make a curved ramp?
There are many ways to do it - here's one:

Re: Will there be more tutorials in the "Create a slot feature in FeatureScript" series?
Yes, they're still planned, but not immediately. The tutorials are written by the FeatureScript developers, so we have to balance the work we do improving the education side with the work that improves FeatureScript and the rest of Onshape — Both are important!
In the case of the slot tutorial, there are some upcoming improvements to both Onshape and FeatureScript that will give the third tutorial a cleaner workflow/result. So we're likely to postpone writing more tutorials until after those features are released. Stay tuned!

Re: Improvements to Onshape - October 1st, 2019
Good changes, but I already miss having my tags show up below the document name. Tags just became less helpful since you have to hav the info pane open to see them. I now have to click on every single document that is shared with me to see if it has been tagged. That's 20 assignments a semester for 52 students. In other words, a lot.
In the future can we include tag names in our searches? Currently you can click on a tag name and see everything with that tag, but cannot find which documents have the same two or more tags associated with them. For me that might be Assignment 1 and On-time and Tuesday Class.

Improvements to Onshape - October 1st, 2019
It's the first of October, exactly 20 days have passed since our last update and we are ready for another! This update focuses on usability and performance improvements in many different areas of Onshape. Let's dig in.
CAD IMPROVEMENTS
HOLE TABLE IMPROVEMENTS
We announced the addition of Hole Tables in our last release. In this update, we've made multiple improvements that make them easier to use.GEOMETRIC TOLERANCE SYMBOL IMPROVEMENTS
You can now attach Geometric Tolerance Symbols to dimension extension lines in Onshape Drawings.SHEET METAL IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements have been made to Sheet Metal in Onshape to better handle multi-edge bends in a single feature. This makes Sheet Metal more robust in situations where you have cuts across the bend.SEARCH RESULT IMPROVEMENTS
Part number, revision, and state now appear below the name when searching in Onshape. This makes it easy to see important information about the thing you are searching for without needing to open it. You'll also notice a new icon has been added to indicate "Latest Revision."DOCUMENTS PAGE IMPROVEMENTS
You will now see the most recently edited branch when viewing the Documents list from the Documents page."SWITCH TO" CONTEXT MENU IMPROVEMENTS
When right-clicking a part in an assembly and using the "Switch to" command, you will now see icons to better delineate between the Part Studio and Assembly.glTF EXPORT OPTION
You can now export parts and assemblies to the glTF file format.LARGE ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Changes have been made to improve large assembly performance in several areas. This includes changes that allow Onshape to open bigger assemblies, improve selection/highlighting performance, and decrease load time.ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS
DASHBOARD PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Performance improvements have been made to reduce load time of many of the Analytics Dashboards in Onshape Enterprise.LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
"INTRO TO CAD" COURSE
You will find a new "Intro to CAD" pathway in the Learning Center. This pathway is composed of four new courses, geared to new CAD users and focuses on understanding how to model in a 3D parametric feature-based CAD system, using Onshape.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.
Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents and over the next few days these features will also be available in Documents created before the date of this update.
