Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time ☕(Winner gets a real Prize!)
Oh look at that, rendering volumetrics just dropped. Someone on the Onshape dev on the team must have seen this thread with all of the hackier attempts at making steam in engine and pushed this update specifically for this competition.
Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
Issue verified fixed in 1.194.0 - thank you for your patience.
Re: Copy from assembly into part studios
No, the result you have means you picked "import to a single document" (on the left), nick was saying use "combine to a single Part studio" (on the right).
This works fine and gives you this, which I think is what you wanted:

Re: Best Uses of In Context?
I use it for wires and similar things, and not much else personally. Most of the time I prefer a top-down approach using Variable Studios and Derives.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 21st, 2025
Conical wrap is a nice improvement. I'm still looking for more general wrap or "flow" along surfaces, but this is a step in the right direction.
I'll have to see how the repair manager change works in practice. It seems like a really good thing.
The copy config inputs seems like it is a baby step towards having an easier way to have configurations ripple down assemblies, subassemblies and parts. I definitely went through a lot of pain doing this in a more manual way in the past, so this is better.
Overall, there are some useful little things here.

Nice! Healthy moment repair and lambda syntax looks great.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 21st, 2025
"Edit healthy moment" is such a killer functionality! Onshape was already miles ahead of other CAD for being able to go back and see what a model looked like when it worked, but making it this accessible and easy is so good.
Re: DRAG/REORDER/RENUMBER ITEMS IN BOM SEPARATE FROM FEATURE/INSTANCE LIST
@NeilCooke Sorry to revive an ancient thread- do you know if anything was ever implemented for BOM ordering?
I'm specifically interested in being able to reorder the way "Items" appear on the BOM list? In general I am fine reordering the instance list to reorder the BOM, but I can't figure out how to make that work for "Items".

Copy config inputs is a wonderful improvement!
