Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 12th, 2021
Scratch that last comment. The drawing export rules don't really help me at all. The export rule references the "drawing" part number, not the part number of the actual part/assembly that is in the drawing... I don't set the point in this for drawings. Usually, the drawing name and number are dictated by the part/assembly in the drawing. This is my experience/opinion only and probably doesn't apply to some of you. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone though.ryan_thivierge said:The export rules are a good start to something that could be really great! The issue, mainly for drawings is that most like to have the TAB name the same as the file that I am creating when exporting. This way the exported drawing name matches the tab for when I am asked to call that drawing back up by a customer. I will still have to go and manually rename all the tabs to match, so at that point, the export rules don't really apply to drawings. Works well for parts and assemblies though! Just need batch export of multiple drawings to PDF's couple with these new export rules and we will be closer to what "I think" everyone wants/needs. Keep chipping away at these improvements!

Re: Loft feature - keep cross section
This one just seemed fun so I had to give it a go. I remembered a hose routing custom feature by @sebastian_glanzner that seemed perfect, especially since your document is called "water outlet". This way you don't have to create fit splines, or cross sections to sweep, and you get extra info about your hose specs. I also used my Freeform Spline feature to define the main path for all of the hoses, so you can edit like this which is kind of satisfying (the "Final" button is active"). Here's a link to my document
Company wide labels
Is it possible to add labels to documents for the whole company? We would like to label them as "To Quote", "Active Quote", etc. and have them searchable by all.

Replace component in assembly
Is there a command where you can replace a component in an assembly? I have a stock cylinder of some length mated into my design, and I just want to replace it with a different stock cylinder. In SW, the "replace component" command replaces the component and updates all the mates automatically.

We are working towards where used for Pro users. It's no small task to capture all these documents back to the beginning of time in performant and scalable manners that consider future capabilities to capture again, while also capturing all forward going use cases as we roll forward in time. We know this is important and will get it right for our very important Pro customers.
