Re: Hatching surface + GD&T surface leader
@Connor_LeCLaire I've created a ticket for your issue on hatching. We can discuss on that support ticket.
Regarding the need to attach datums directly to faces of parts in views - we don't support that yet, but it's something on our shorter term list to get to. You should see GDT supported next. We recently added support for surface finish and notes.

Re: How to mate parts/assemblies to the origin
Thanks for all the feedback so far, honestly appreciating it.
But I have to say, I don't understand it... It's one assembly that should be placed at the origin. I should not need to fix some parts, make mate connectors to others etc. just to place it on the origin? I mean it doesn't get more basic than that, or does it?
And the origins of the subassemblies as well as the mate connectors defined in them are not visible in the top assembly anyhow, so I can't use them to place anything even if I wanted to.
Also, yes, place it there and never move it again. But designs are often iterative. What If I decide to move it to try something out. And then I want to move it back to the origin, but don't remember how far it was moved? Then I need to delete it and place it again? Guess that would be catastrophic for any parts having references on that part/assembly.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - July 19th, 2024
Sweet! Dark Mode! (the featurestudio looks nice too, would like a dimmer sheet of paper in drawings, not black as everything else is)
Clear Missing References!
Mouse over for formula (would be nice to have always shown)
Fixed that sketch constraint annoyance!
The icons look much better than what I could ever get from darkreader or that other paid for one.
Will now have to go through some custom feature icons and make them more compatible with darkmode now
vs. 
Any suggestions from the Onshape Crew on color schemes for custom Icons?

Re: Is there a way to collapse similar holes in a hole table into a single line?
Edit: yes there is!
Right click the hole table > Hole Table Properties > Collapse tags
Not sure how I missed this...

Changing theme to dark mode in My Account -> Preferences is a permanent setting and would remember your preference across tabs. Hope that helps.Ethan_Downey said:Thanks for the dark mode!Will dark mode support multiple browser tab in future?

Re: Silhouette Outline
@Ron_van_Dijk - this capability is also built into the stock feature in the mold toolset https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7543d74a1c21c7b27ebab24c/w/648480c544b2f15540cf0867/e/5217db10fb840954e5348228
