Great start to the day with a new release. Awesome work Onshape! Cropped views and broken out sections look very well implemented.
Tasks look like a great improvement to comments, thank you! To be constructive...... I am really looking forward to being able to attach pictures to comments as I am a little lost without being able to share photos, sketches etc, to describe what needs to be done on a task, therefore back to a messager or email.6 -
Path length dimensions and branch specific permissions. Then Onshape will be perfect.

@D8_Starpac thank you for the clarification - seems to be an issue with ISO drawing formats only. I will escalate.

@D8_Starpac the developer has fixed the bug. It just needs to go through testing and then hopefully it will be pushed live later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA2

Love the assign tasks improvement.....could we make it so that you can also assign yourself tasks? You can't list yourself in a comment, so unless I'm missing something, I don't see a way to assign yourself a task.5

Great updates as always, but I am still waiting for an major improvement to the variables.2

@3dcad
Yea that has happened to me once too, but using crop view, I think it has something to do with mine being a section view.
Now that I've submitted a ticket

@john_mcclary Is correct. We don't support cuts of a cut yet in drawing views. It's a logged/planned improvement.0
-
Yep, that's what it says on tooltip. My default workflow to add broken out section would be to make into detail view..//rami0
-
On a view with a Broken-out section, I can't snap a cutting line to make a section view.
Doing it the other way round will work.
Could this be fixed ?La simplicité est la sophistication suprême.
