Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
A few of these have already been mentioned but just to reiterate a couple of high impact ones for us:
- Suppressing with logic/conditional statements
- Reorder configuration inputs (drag and drop, or honestly anything other than what we currently have). *Worth noting that in our enterprise, throughout all of time, we have moved inputs over 64,000 times
- Multi-editing tool for configuration parameters (shift click to move up/down several or shift click to delete)
- Configure configurations parameters (have options in a drop down show/not show based on previous selections)
- Configure configuration variable limits
- Folders/parameter groups for configuration parameters
- Descriptions for configuration options
We've made support tickets for each of these going into more detail/use cases for them. We make pretty complex configurations to the point where we have hired people whose full time job is to manage and update configuration in Onshape. Updates even as simple as speeding up reordering configuration inputs would have saved hours of work in the past.
Also what @EvanReese mentioned about building configuration UIs in a similar way to FeatureScript would also be very welcomed.
Suppressing assembly pattern part instances using configurations
I would really like to create assembly configurations that suppress chosen pattern part instances but i don't think it can be done?

Great update! By far the best update this year 😉

Re: incline plane / schiefe Ebene
Hallo Tell,
Jed's Punkt, Mate Connectors zu benutzen, ist in diesem Zusammenhang der wichtigste. Wenn Du erst die Mittellinie aller Deiner Rohre zeichnest, kannst Du, anstatt eine Skizzenebnene anzulegen, einfach einen Mate connector an die Stelle auf der Mittellinie setzen, wo Du den Querschnitt zeichnen möchtest, z.B. an einem Endpunk einer Geraden oder eines Winkels, und diesen dann als Skizzierebene auswählen. Das funktioniert genau so gut, hat aber den Vorteil, dass er immer tangential auf der Mittellinie ausgerichtet ist, und der gezeichnete Querschnitt also wirklich zum Rohr passt.
IMPROVEMENT - Dragging configurations
Having done a lot of large configuration table management, it would be great to be able to drag configurations in lists to reorder them. This could be done by temporarily disabling updates (so there aren't lag spikes when you drag them around), then confirm when you have the order you want. Similar to reordering the boolean parts list.
Re: Chamfer direction
I realize this is extremely old, but I ran into the same issue. There is now a section of the chamfer tool called "direction overrides" which allows you to individually select edges to flip the direction on. Just click on that box and select the edges to reverse.
Re: Do default view style toggles work for you?
Ah! An easter egg. Been wanting that for ages. The GUI does not provide a single clue for this. :0/
