Re: Release Management: how do I release an assembly but not rev the parts within it?
@andres_dandler, to do this you will need to change the parts in the assembly to reference the revision. Right click on the parts in the instance list and select "change to version". Then click the triangle in the dialog to see the revision. Once you change the parts to reference revisions, the parts will stay at the revision when you release the assembly.
Re: Release Management: how do I release an assembly but not rev the parts within it?
@andres_dandler You need to be referencing released parts in the Assembly as @timandrews stated. Even though the parts may already be released, you are still working in the workspace which means the Assembly is referencing parts in the workspace which are stable release points. Once you are pointing to a release ("stable") reference point, our release management recognizes that and knows not to up-rev it again. You can review this and other common scenarios that users have questions on by checking out this webinar: https://www.onshape.com/videos/redefining-work-in-process-advanced-data-management-without-bottlenecks-022819
Re: Loft Error - Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
You may need to add some guide curves, or split the lower circle and match verticies
Re: Loft Error - Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
Hello @scott_lipsham
As @john_mcclary said, splitting the lower profile will do the trick.
This feature has six points.
Using the split command in the sketch toolbar, I split the second profile to match the same number of points as the first profile. Below is a top view of both sketches visible in the graphics area.
Second profile after being split
Here is the end result. Hope this helps!

Re: Assembly: Why do Suppressed Parts Error Associated Mates?
Well the point is they should just suppress / unsupressed themselves if one of the referenced parts has been supressed/unsupressed
Re: Constraining to 3D objects from Drawing
@tom_auger
Only items that are in the place of the sketch will "wake up" for auto-constraint while you are creating a sketch entity. For example, if you select the "point" tool and are in the process of placing a point, you are only going to be able to make it coincident, horizontal, or vertical to something else that is is the sketch plane.
You do not need to use "use" though if you want to constrain that sketch point to something that is not in the sketch plane. You just need to do it after placing the point. For example, you could just place the point somewhere random, then click on the "coincident" tool, and then select any vertex anywhere in 3d space, and then the sketch point, and the sketch point will be constrained to be at the location where the vertex projects onto the sketch point.
Hopefully this makes sense. You can constrain any sketch geometry to external geometry by using the constraint tools after placing the sketch entity (without ever needing to use the "use" tool), that external geometry just isn't going to wake up while you are in the process of initially placing the sketch geometry.

Re: How can easily locate the mate feature

Detail View Feature
It would really help a lot when dimensioning small features in a view to have a tool that will allow us to create detailed views and dimensions on those views.
