Re: Persistent Selection - can it be turned off?
It was odd to get used to coming from Solidworks, but I love it now. Think about it, in most CAD packages you're holding ctrl or shift or something more often than not when selecting things. Onshape seems to have decided that's the default and single selections are less common, which I agree with.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 15th, 2020
Nice Update. I really like the auto suppress mates when part or assemblies are suppressed.
On the tip, firstly I'd like to be able to highlight areas when I mouse over but this may be done deliberately but what I really want to know is, if things are configured or not, this would make it much more helpful.
See here nothing tells me the 58in is configured on the tooltip
I have to open the edit dialogue

Re: About tab for documentation
I tend to use google documents and then upload the pdf to Onshape. Here is a great example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9daa9008f7565f7f9ff8295a/w/4f08995a9b3b36466601d3f5/e/576145da139a3a375980a7f9
Re: Release Management Feedback
Ok, I don't have much to say on the specifics of RM, but have a tangentially related question...
Statements:-
Onshape Is built upon a database.
Featurescript is an open source language used to implement part studio features.
Question:-
Could we have an open source language, similar to featurescript, that allows us to run queries against our data and build graphical user interfaces?
End Goal:-
We build our own custom UI elements, including whatever we care to see on our release management summary page.
Regards,
Owen S.
Adding "symetric" option to up to vertex
for example in the extrusion feature, we have the option for symmetric that is a semi-blind option (where we do it as first blind and a second end position with a second blind) but would be a great option to do up to vertex and do a symmetry of it. obviously it is something that can be solved by creating a sketch and creating the second vertex but would nice to have this option.

As of today, you can't tell the difference between an inactive mate and a hidden mate
Seeing how mates are normally hidden, it would be nice if the suppressed mate had a marker that shows it is inactive, without having to mouseover and read the tool tip.
I agree it shouldn't be crossed out like a normal suppress because it is nice knowing which were suppressed manually from a config.
I always hated having to mouseover in SW too when checking the status of a suppressed mate. Now is a good opportunity to do it better the SW again
Maybe you could have just plain text appended to the name rather than a symbol:
Fastened 3 (Inactive)

Re: Materials
You may need to set the properties of your trackpad so that a two-finger click on the right = right mouse click
