Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 13th, 2025
FYI they have identified a bug here, its getting fixed. That is of course the down side of regular updates, especially when you have built a lot of specialist bespoke stuff under the bonnet… As much as I love the regular updates, every now and again they make something fall over that was working before.

Any one else tried opening the configuration tab following this update?
Its empty for us, but only in some documents? I will raise a bug report, but if any one else has issues please reply
Re: How do you change the dimensions in a sketch on iOS?
No, this is incorrect. The free version has full functionally. If it's your own part that you modeled from scratch, you can edit it without issue. If it is someone else's public model, you must first "make a copy" of it, (which is now yours), and then you can edit it as before. You can't edit someone else's model, because it would then mess them up.
Re: New FeatureScript: Cosmetic Knurl
@zy_su to use this you will need to click the link above and add the custom feature to your toolbar. From there, you will then be able to access that tool in your own part studios.
The tool requires you to click a face, then it will automatically add lines to the face. This is for cosmetic purposes since the Knurls are added via machining and don't need to be created in the model unless you are 3D printing.

When you open an older doc it often pops up and says... This doc is old, update now or later..
If you want to force onshape to update a doc send it to trash and restore.
On a completely different note...
COSMETIC THREAAAAAAAADS! WOOHOOOOO

Sorry Euan, that may have been my "Southern Hemisphere standard" thread direction…
Actually, that video was created earlier in the week before we had a chance to address something - it is all correct now.

Using Polycam on my Android phone I was able to test out the new constrain feature on my favorite stress ball. As a small test, I just split out the eye portion, selected the mesh surface, and updated the tolerance to 0.4mm. 2 thumbs up!
Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 13th, 2025
My guess is that the cosmetic thread might only show on thread created with the updated version of the features (i.e. try creating a new tapped hole or external thread feature in your doc and see if it shows up on there…)
