Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 20th, 2024

Great new features!
However with the new underconstrained indicator a new constraint "constant length" would be helpful. So I could use it for all supporting lines where the length value itself is not relevant. Using a dimension each time to make it a certain lenght is not helping to keep the sketch in overview. So just the current value as constant value was much more easy and I can use it for all supporting lines at the same time.

take the id out of the instanceNames array should be just a string

Using multiple contexts will give you what you're looking for. Time to make sure names are given besides context 1 & context 2. Like context RHD & context LHD. Make sure to practice single context on something before jumping in since the additional context will add complexity and more tracking. It is still way better than using derived systems especially when using multiple placement of sub assemblies. This uses less system overhead. To see both contexts at the same time, open another browser on your second screen to run another OS. You can then see context one on 1 screen and context 2 on the other. You can switch back and forth seamlessly or some one else can work on the other context on their own screen.

At some point you'll probably want to get into configured assemblies to work on the LHD & RHD. But that's down the road. Again both configurations can be worked on simultaneously.
