DRAWING IMPROVEMENTS

HIDE LINKED PROPERTY PLACEHOLDER AND BACKGROUND ON DRAWINGS

Previously when adding a property callout in a note a “----” placeholder would show that the callout was not pulling data due to an empty property. You can now hide the grey background behind the placeholder or hide the placeholder altogether until the property is filled. 

ABILITY TO "FORESHORTEN" DIAMETER DIMENSIONS 

When using the diameter dimension tool in reference to a crop or detailed view we have now added the ability to toggle a foreshortened dimension, adding clarity to the dimension of the diameter being referenced. 

ABILITY TO ADD/REMOVE COLUMNS TO THE DRAWING REVISION TABLE

We have added the ability to create a custom revision table, editing Onshape's default revision table. You can now add, remove and reorder columns in the revision table. This new option can be found in the Release Management tab. Both revision and BOM templates have an "All uppercase in Drawings" option now. 

ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS 

REMOVING USERS IN BULK USING A CSV FILE

In this release we have implemented the ability to remove users in bulk from an enterprise account. In addition we have improved the user interface when adding or removing users in bulk.

Administrators can now configure webhooks with additional security to ensure all API calls are genuine.

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 

@guy_rogel has a good point.  The improvement request forum page was created to allow users to voice opportunities for improvement and allow others to vote them up.  Many of the top 10 open items have been on this page for 2+ years (see attached image)
 


My organization has been asking for 3+ years on more sheet metal features and since then we have gotten hems & flipping the flat pattern.  3yrs of our patience is starting to running out.

Is the improvement request forum still considered the best place for users to upvote ideas?

When we built the forum and the improvement requests area, it was to add another vector of input to our teams. We have requests that come in this public forum as well as from all users directly to our support team.  In addition to this list, which is automated into our bug tracker and support tools, we talk to customers, partners, educators and internal teams for improvements and bug fixes we have to get on the plan as well. It is our goal to ensure we can hear from all angles what is a priority.

I completely understand looking at the improvements every 3 weeks and wondering when your most important improvements will come. I've been there.. .many of us here have.  I hope you believe that we are hard at work each release to try to get as many productive new features delivered in addition to growing the platform, stability and performance each release.
