Re: Improvements to Onshape - August 20th, 2019
WRAP! So helpful keep it all coming. Onshape is the FUTURE!
Re: Offsetting complex, closed shapes made up of arcs.
Not quite. In your last example you extruded a line which will give a surface. We want to extrude "sketch regions" to make a solid part.
To boolean two solid parts there is no need to select faces, we just select the parts we want to join together.
To end up with a .45mm thick wall we have a few options. We can either extrude it solid and then use the shell feature and tell that feature we want a .45mm wall, or just start with something .45mm and extrude it up.

Re: Drawn Metal Cup with Vents
@sean_hart
If you step through the features list in this document, it will show you how to make vents

Re: Drawn Metal Cup with Vents
@sean_hart For this design, with it having compound formed features for the cylinder and the vents, it would be best to model this using non-sheet metal modeling techniques. This would be the case in most CAD programs out there because of the stamped features on the rolled portion of the design.

My eyes are very thankful for the little icon to help highlight the failed mates. Much easier to see now when scanning the tree.

Re: Offsetting complex, closed shapes made up of arcs.
OK, lets hit the issues one at a time.
Is this the type of fillet you're after?
If so you need to join the individual parts together before the fillet. (Using the boolean tool.)

Re: Improvements to Onshape - August 20th, 2019
As always a bunch of nice improvements.
To celebrate this palindrome release, I also want to add a small improvement
With this release you can find a small Onshape course in Spanish for free here... https://www.udemy.com/course/conoce-las-ventajas-de-onshape-el-futuro-del-cad-en-la-nube
And here https://www.udemy.com/course/introduccion-al-diseno-en-la-nube-con-onshape another Introduction course to Onshape
Please, I would love to have some feedback from the free course. Especially about section 2, in which I talk about the advantages of Onshape over traditional CAD software.

Re: New FeatureScript: Hose Routing
@MBartlett21
We actually did an audit this dev cycle to find features where selection reorder is useful, and added it in where appropriate. This will be released in our next release. 3d fit spline is included.

Re: Who fancy a challenge?
@michał_1 ;- I like your idea of using sheet metal.
Here is my take using the new "Wrap" feature. I still had to use Thicken to get the parallel side walls, so some of the fillets are a bit wonky and there's a small matter of non-manifold geometry at the bottom of the slot requiring a minor dimension tweak (within tolerance of course). 28 features - BOOM!
We like a good modeling challenge, so if you find any more please post!
