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/
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.
