Re: Sketch: how to find, select and remove identical entities drawn on top of each other?
Nothing automatic.
The rare times I've run into this, I select the line and press delete, then repeat, until there is no line on the screen. Then I press the undo button once to get the last line back. Repeat with the other duplicate lines.
Re: Draft Raised Text on a Curved Surface
Here are a couple thoughts for raised text for non cylindrical faces.

Re: Assembly Planes - Where are they?
Planes in assemblies would be much needed! I can't believe this is not an option…at least there should be the option to be able to see visible planes of parts, in assemblies, so as to be able to use them to section views…c'mon!
Re: Still Having Loft Issues....
Thats an interesting idea i hadnt even considered that, Ill give it a try and report back. Thanks

Re: Why is the ability to use and mate to the planes used in part construction missing in Assemblies?
Where are the planes in Assemblies? Why are they NOT there? Why can't we use them along with all of the Mate Connectors? Imagine the beauty of that scenario! This is a very serious need for this software! Let us not evade the question!

Thanks! I switched back to Freemium from Pro because of this deficiency.
Re: the diameter symbol remains even if it has been changed. please fix it
That looks like a threaded hole. Why not use the hole=thread call out?
Re: Render Studio Custom Appearances
I agree, it has come a long way! It's feeling more and more Onshape. They also really increased the performance so that it's pretty user friendly now.
There are still a few things like this that make it painful to use. I should probably go make some IR's for these. Don't really want to bombard the Onshape team with theses atm, but may upload them soon.
- Option to turn off live render preview so that it doesn't block out everything while moving around. Or perhaps don't live render it until the camera has stopped moving for 3 seconds. I can't move things around with the block out view anyways so we might as well be able to just turn it off.
- Having to version your document then go and update render studio like it's a different document is a huge pain. Needs to behave similarly to derive from the same document so that the references are live.
- Saving your own library of appearances. This would save quite a bit of time since I have a handful of common custom appearances that I like to use.
- Creating custom textures. I expect just drag and drop bitmap, normal, roughness, metalic. But it is much more difficult. I still haven't been able to make a custom texture even though I've been given instructions directly from Onshape multiple times.
- Environment: The background is still confusing, now there are two places to set the background? This should be simplified into one large button called "Environment".
- Environment settings that might be nice so that we know what is changing:
- "Use lighting from environment"
- "Use custom lighting"
- "Override background"
- etc…
