Re: Assembly Planes - Where are they?
You should be able to pick any cylindrical or conical face for a section view, it creates the section along the axis of the face "snapping" to the nearest XYZ planes.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - October 31st, 2025
There is an update I keep waiting and wanting to see… I work with sheet metal often. On drawings- There needs to be a way to hide some of the automated bend notes. As it is, you can either hide all or show all. The automated bend notes will put multiple callouts on a singular bend line when there is a cutout somewhere on the line. - A bend note is added both sides of the cutout. Some bend lines have many cutouts along the bend. This makes for very messy drawings. I usually end up hiding all bend notes and manually inputing the bend callouts. I have run into this issue many times. I recommend an automated faint construction line that connects across the cutout spaces to show that it is a singular aligned bend. I hope this is an easy update to implement. Thank you!
Re: Understanding Managed In-Context Design, In context design within a doc, step 28
The lines might be black, but look carefully for some blue line endpoints. When I did the exercise, I had two endpoints I had to constrain.
