Re: Sketch: how to find, select and remove identical entities drawn on top of each other?

I can't think of a specific tool for this but sometimes the left-to-right rectangle selection can help. It will grab only items fully inside the selection box, not ones that overlap the box.

Nothing automatic.

The rare times I've run into this, I select the line and press delete, then repeat, until there is no line on the screen. Then I press the undo button once to get the last line back. Repeat with the other duplicate lines.

Re: Draft Raised Text on a Curved Surface

Here are a couple thoughts for raised text for non cylindrical faces.

Re: Assembly Planes - Where are they?

Planes in assemblies would be much needed! I can't believe this is not an option…at least there should be the option to be able to see visible planes of parts, in assemblies, so as to be able to use them to section views…c'mon!

Re: Why is the ability to use and mate to the planes used in part construction missing in Assemblies?

More info: So you are in an assembly and you "Turn Section View On". The pop up is... wait for it..." Select a Plane, Planar Face or Mate Connector".

Where are the planes in Assemblies? Why are they NOT there? Why can't we use them along with all of the Mate Connectors? Imagine the beauty of that scenario! This is a very serious need for this software! Let us not evade the question!

Re: Why is the ability to use and mate to the planes used in part construction missing in Assemblies?

I vote to introduce plane options in Onshape assemblies. Engineers work with datum planes, which are missing in Onshape. Where to find a tutorial to show what has replaced using datum planes? I suggest to at least provide the option for designers to use planes in assemblies.

Why is the ability to use and mate to the planes used in part construction missing in Assemblies?

Machines from the small to the gigantic use planes for assembly. "The Datum Reference Frame / Planes" Yet in Onshape there are no planes that are usable for mating in Assemblies. You would think that the Assembly would have planes similar to a Part Studio. You would think that the construction planes used in a Part Studio would be able to be used in an Assembly. Is this an oversight or is there some new paradigm that is hidden, or is this functionality going to shortly appear?

Thanks! I switched back to Freemium from Pro because of this deficiency.

Re: the diameter symbol remains even if it has been changed. please fix it

That looks like a threaded hole. Why not use the hole=thread call out?

Re: Simulation

You can't. It's Professional or Enterprise only.
