Improvements to Onshape - April 25th, 2025
CAD IMPROVEMENTS
REPAIR MANAGER IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements have been made to Repair Manager that allow you to forward propagate some references. The new Replace reference option allows you to replace a broken reference in the current feature, and propagate that replaced reference downstream to any features that use that reference.SHORTCUT KEY IMPROVEMENTS
You can now add Section view, Mass and section properties, and Measure and section properties to your shortcut toolbar. This gives you quick access to some of Onshape's most popular features.RENDER STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
SCENE LIST IMPROVEMENTS
You will find new, more advanced, Scene list filters in Render Studio. These filters include the ability to filter by criteria like appearance and decals. This allows you to quickly filter the scene list. You will also find the scene list has been split and now has two panes. The top pane contains the scene geometry, as well as Transforms and Projectors, while the bottom pane contains Appearances.RESET APPEARANCE ON FACES
If faces have an appearance set in the Part Studio, and their appearance is changed in Render Studio, they can now be reset to the original Part Studio appearance via the Scene list or graphics area context menu.
FOCAL LENGTH FIELD OF VIEW
You can now define Field of view by focal length. In the past, this was limited to angle.

Re: Investing in Onshape's Foundation: Focus on Stability and Performance for the Next Two Releases
Absolutely the right move. As much as we all love shiny new features, none of that matters if the foundation isn’t solid. Prioritising performance and reliability is what keeps long-term users happy — something I’ve seen firsthand in crypto as well.
Re: Dimension visibility in assembly
Please vote on this IR, we absolutely need this as well:
Show/hide construction geometry
I know shift-p hides all the construction geometry, but it doesn't toggle it back on as far as I can tell.
It would be nice if shift+p could be made to toggle the show/hide
or if it does exist, then how do you make it visible without having to do "show all sketches" and all the other stuff to make everything visible?

2 whole releases for technical debt sounds amazing.
I'm excited to see a release notes like:
Re: Investing in Onshape's Foundation: Focus on Stability and Performance for the Next Two Releases
I waited a long time for an announcement like this.
I think any power user will prefer less bells and whistles and much more reliability.
This is great, and I hope OS will do this more often.
🙏

If this paves the way for some powerful configuration logic controls (suppression by expression, between tables etc. ) we are happy…
