Re: Assign Favorite Materials with a Single Click
I have my own pretty short custom materials list that have only the materials I use most frequently and also have the names and material numbers that match the standards used in this part of the world. It is not exctly what you proposed, but already goes a long way.

Re: Sketch Blocks
for some companies you 100% need sketch blocks, when you are given a very complex pattern, as asked to scale rotate as a whole.
The fact that when you move things, the pattern could slightly change unexpectedly is absolutely a horror then you are to cut the pattern on the $6000 sheet.
Re: Seeing the red
chadstoltzfus said:This is not necessarily a great solution as I also share the belief that there should be more accessibility options in Onshape but if you are using Chrome/Firefox there are several great extensions that can change the color scheme of websites. These are not always guaranteed to work, but I have had great success using a Chrome extension called Dark Reader, which has given me a fairly stable and clean dark theme for Onshape.

Re: Why doesn't the documents creators name follow along with copies - or copies of copies?
Agreed, It would be nice to be able to credit the original creator of a model.
