Re: is there a way to highlight what isn't contained in a sketch?
To expand on Martin's idea - In the sketch UI box, there should be a checkbox, right under "show constraints" box, that is named "highlight undefined", this tool would toggle the blue color to a more visible color, and / or show highlight spots on said geometry. As for larger dots, this would be fine inside a command like I just mentioned, but might be confusing, if it were in the standard sketch mode. If this isn't an IR yet, would someone file one please. I'd vote that up.
Re: Create a mesh
Sketch on a non-planar surface is not available currently. I have seen some requests on it though.nicolas said:..@3dcad I think you are probably right, Onshape doesn’t provide such a tool yet. But I was wondering if there is trick to it “manually”, like projecting a 2D mesh on the 3D parts (like a sketch on a non planar surface) and extruding it.

And this is why we recommend keeping sketches simple (among other reasons) 😀
Re: is there a way to highlight what isn't contained in a sketch?
There should be a 'check geometry' tool to find unconstrained sketch entities AND also open gaps between curves. Would save very much time and nerves with imported geometry.
Re: is there a way to highlight what isn't contained in a sketch?
Even in a very simple sketch, the invisibility of blue endpoints wastes a huge amount of time and energy. On a 4K monitor I really have to just guess and try to drag stuff.

Re: is there a way to highlight what isn't contained in a sketch?
I finally found a point that wasn't constrained, it would be good to add some way to make such things more obvious. (a way to pulse a circle around a problem, or just blink the unconstrained components.
cad.new no longer working
I noticed visiting the cad.new url no longer redirects you to a new onshape document. The dns seems not to be working. cad.onshape.com/new still works.
Is this deliberate or an oversight?
It might seem silly, but I really love this feature of onshape. It cuts down on the time between having a cad idea and starting the modelling process.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - November 1st, 2024
…just made to change log. Quite a few fixes that sound like familiar issues. Will check them over next week 😃Thank You
