Re: Sketch Blocks

I cannot believe its been 5 years, and yet there is nothing done to it.
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

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.

Hey @chadstoltzfus , we are thinking about ways that Onshape can be more accessible over time. We realize the error indications here should be denoted by more than just color, but are there any other accessibility related issues that you were thinking about?
