Re: Improvements to Onshape - July 18th, 2025

I kid you not when I say this configuration update will save HOURS of work on our end. We have 2 people who work on configurations full time and needing to update 50+ templates by individually moving a parameter up/down the list with one click at a time was a huge problem. That alone makes this one of the most impactful releases for us.

@Alex_Pitt I am experiencing the same thing. All my defaults are in inches. When I create a .dxf it defaults to meter. I change to inch it to inch but if I close the program it goes back to meter.

Is there a default setting for .dxf export that can be set?

Re: Holes Around a Spiral

In this case you will need to do the holes in flat pattern view, and utilize sketch patterns. It seems there's a limit of 100 for sketch patterns and I had to use 3 patterns to get enough holes. Problem is this creates a super long regen time as is the case with excessive sketch patterns. Flat pattern view won't let you feature pattern to take advantage of lower regen times. May be worth an improvement request if not already requested to support feature patterns in flat pattern view. I'm showing 216 sec to regen 1040 holes in a sketch. 😲

The temptation to post a response in all caps without spaces must have been enormous. You are a stronger willed individual than I.

That is correct - what is the question?

Re: Text Regen Speed Optimisation

Interesting, the regeneration times for the feature studios don't line up with the feature tree regeneration times:
Perhaps @_anton knows why this is?

I stopped reading after this

The assigned default value for a configuration input is now displayed in the configurations panel
Configured dimensions can be renamed
List values can be reordered by drag-and-drop
Configuration inputs can be reordered by drag-and-drop 😍
You can expand or collapse all configuration inputs in one click

Thanks you sooooooooo much for this! This has been a pain for me for years.

Continuing to read, Oh my god! I'm having trouble comprehending how so many pain points for me have suddenly been solves in one update. This is awesome!
