THE CONSTRAINED SURFACE FEATURE IS SO AMAZING FOR THE CURRENT PROJECT I'VE BEEN DOING!!! AND THERE'S SO MUCH TO MENTALLY UNPACK! GLORY TO THE BEST CAD SOFTWARE!

The Constrained surface has so many interesting workflows - I'm really looking forward to seeing people get into it. I made this video as a bit of a primer…

I think is a very useful update. Especially the constrained surface to replace mesh imports to something way more useful. 😋

Wow, that cosmetic thread. This is not just a bunch of cosmetic rings (like in SW), but it looks like real thread including the correct pitch and shadowing.
Amazing how many Onshape improvements @EvanReese has inspired.

Hey everyone, check out Onshape's latest update!
They improved the workflow for creating custom textures in render studio:

It is crazy how these small improvements will make my life easier as a mechanical designer! 👏
I can't pass over in silence the new cosmetic threads… 🏆️

@S1mon Oops, that was from a previous change log that I missed. Still super excited for that!
Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 13th, 2025
Woah! Most all will immediately be beneficial for my line of work. Nice one Onshape, and a day early even. 🤩

Well isn't this a very pleasant surprise! Released on a Thursday instead of Friday, and a bunch of things that many people have been asking for for a long time.
Routing curve we've had many previews for, but great to see it in production now. Still looking forward to a more generalized 3D spline tool, but happy to have routing tools.
The constrained surface tool is beyond what I had seen in Plasticity. More reverse engineering tools are very welcome.
The cosmetic thread appearance will make threading a lot easier to understand on unfamiliar parts. And the ability to dimension them in a variety of ways on 2D drawings is very welcome.
One of the biggest quality of life things for me is the ability to collapse and expand all folders with a menu click (and presumably a keyboard shortcut).
Nice to see RenderStudio getting some basic quality of life improvements as well.
