PART STUDIOS

FLATTEN SURFACES

Flatten surfaces is a new Analysis tool that generates a planar surface from one or more contiguous non-planar surfaces. This is useful to evaluate the flat (cut) shape for a paint mask, decal, or text curves. The result can be exported to PARASOLID, STL, DXF, or SVG file format.

PAUSE REGENERATION

Part Studio regeneration can be temporarily paused while multiple configuration, variable table values, or feature parameters are modified.

SKETCH PROFILE INSPECTOR

Tiny gaps between sketch entities are difficult to detect, especially in complex imported DXF files. The Profile inspector, a new sketch diagnostics tool, quickly finds all the open ends of non-construction geometry.

SKETCH BEZIER CURVE

Elevating the degree of a Bezier sketch entity increases the number of control points while maintaining the exact geometry. Lowering the degree reduces the number of control points, preserving the geometry where possible and approximating the geometry as closely as possible when exact geometry cannot be maintained.

THICKNESS ANALYSIS

Thickness analysis is now available for Onshape Professional and Onshape Education Enterprise users.

DRAWINGS

PASTE AS TABLE WITH FORMATTING

Tables created by pasting cells from Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel now import text styles (font size, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough) and cell width and height. Note that if a style is applied to only part of the cell text, it is not preserved.

RELEASE MANAGEMENT

ADDING OBJECTS FROM OTHER DOCUMENTS

Onshape Professional users can now add parts, assemblies, drawings or files from other documents to a single release candidate and release them together. 

RENDER STUDIO

LEGACY RENDER STUDIO BETA TABS ⚠️

Render Studio was officially released in Onshape 1.181 (May 17th, 2024). Access to the beta version of Render Studio will cease on February 29th, 2025 and all exisiting Render Studio beta tabs created prior to the official release will be automatically deleted on this date. Only rendered output created from those tabs will remain.

SELECT MATCHING INSTANCES

All instances of the same part or subassembly can now be selected by right-clicking and choosing Select matching instances, regardless of where they appear in the assembly structure.

ISOLATE TRANSFORMS AND PROJECTORS

All entities added to a Transform or Projector can now be isolated on screen with a simple right-click.

MOBILE

MERGE LINES ON iOS

Merge lines can now be displayed on an iOS device for a clear high-level overview of the development timeline.
