Re: How do you create a sphere?
You can create a sphere in 2 steps. Create a sketch and draw an arc or circle and then use the revolve tool.
Here's an example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f46a38416ac2855162ef7bed/w/ee19045eebb62fb7898e525d/e/9060850a21912e090e6916e9

Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 14th, 2021
Great improvements and keep them coming. Seen the comments about priority and rollout. I've never had a better experience with a CAD software provider continually seeking user & community feedback to try and keep getting better. Try putting an improvement request in with SolidWorks, then try and avoid paying to actually get it without 'upgrading', and you'll remind yourself what the near past was like. Onshape's approach to improvements is industry leading.

255 users have been asking for over 2 years to have the option to draw external threads so they can make a simple screw drawing which is still not possible in OS, and you are dealing with the center marks colors.....I think somthing is wrong with your priorities
Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 14th, 2021
I don't know about that priorities list. I'd kind of guess people will simply up-vote any and every idea. Screw threads on a drawing or in a 3D model in particular is a weird one to me to be #2. I've designed a few custom screws for mass production, and didn't even draw the threads on the 3D or 2D. Just a note on what they should be. I know there are some people that might need them, but for enough engineers to vote on that to make it #2 in a list of requested improvements? I'm not buying that.

The Folders capability is awesome. Can this easily be extended to include this feature to the Mate Features list ? It would be wonderful to be able to group mates as well.
