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/
Re: Comment selected region in feature studio
Did pressing Ctrl+/ not work for you?

Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
@ilya_baran This update already gets me most of what I've wanted so thank you! But ideas I've had are:
- setting the min/max of a variable input based on other inputs. For example, if a user picked Pipe A from a list, then don't let them make it longer than the stock material.
- hide/show inputs based on boolean logic on variable values. For example if(#myLength > 1 * ft), then show a different list below, or limit the values on a given list input
- I don't know if it would work for everyone, but I daydream about setting up my config inputs with FeatureScript exactly as I would a feature UI.
- simultaneous equations. This one is low on my list, but it could be interesting to allow solving simultaneous equations between variables so that a value entered in one, will update another one and vice versa. This could be similar to how Neil did the UI on the Gear feature.
Re: Still no improvements to dimension references?
Re: "Is it still the case that you can not set two driven dimensions equal to each other" - I can't imagine this would or could ever be possible?
If you set two driven dimensions equal to each other, then by virtue of the "=" operation, you're effectively making one of them a driven dimension?
By definition, the "=" operation can only happen between a driving dimension (on the right of the "=") and a driven dimension (on the left of the "=")
Re: Do default view style toggles work for you?
Epic! Thanks so much for the hint! I would not have guessed that one.
Re: If I sketch a line in Onshape Drawing for example 200mm how can I change it to be 250mm ?
If you want to make a drawing border the best way to do it, oddly, is to create it as a sketch in a part studio then export it as a dxf. You can the import it into the drawing with the dxf button, to the rightish of the toolbar.
Re: Why I cannot give dimension to a circle?
I feel like I have done similar things hundreds of times before and they always worked.
Ditto! I poked around looking for a preference setting that might cause this. Came up empty and reloading the page doesn't help. I am running Windows 11. Perhaps one of the pros will chime in and a decision for a bug report can be made. - Scotty

@S1mon @robert_stiles @chadstoltzfus Could you be more specific on what you're looking for? We have our own ideas, but are always interested in hearing from customers.
@christopher_dziuba I'm guessing you're running into the (intentional) restriction that a configuration input (call it x) that is excluded from properties cannot control the visibility of one that is not (call it y). Otherwise, changing x could hide y, setting it to its default value and indirectly affecting the properties.
