With another year of great Onshape improvements in the books, what improvements would you like to see for 2020?

Here are a few of mine:

The more I'm working in OS professionally the more I need drawing improovements in hatchings, excluding parts from section views, more flexible dimensions settings, standard fits and tolerances, bom templates and import of part configuration table in drawing. Also we definitely need assembly impoovements: assembly patterns, assembly mirror, meshes in assembly, interactive assembly instance translucensy, more mate types, group assembly mates by part, supressing instance mates automatically when supressing the instance, instance list folders with configuralble folder-level supression (this needed also for part studios).

I know we should use the voting or send requests directly to onshape but can't help it..

My top 5 in addition to performance improvement 
- Color by face & feature
- Change part / face color and part transparency in assembly
- Decals / images on part and assembly
- Exploded views
- Enhanced variables (use any given dimension + global variables w/o using fs)

My dream 5
- MBD (model based definition ie. 3d drawings to use instead of 2D drawings)
- Animation studio (assy movement & explode)
- Easy way to embed live model into website/webshop with parameter input
- Render view (comparable usability and quality of Keyshot)
- Stay awesome

Well, voting only gets you so far... <cough> colored <cough> faces <cough>
So, I don't see a problem repeating the needs in many places... eventually we may annoy them enough to add the features

Between Bryan and Konstantin, they got  most of my biggies listed

Yes, I have been watching this for a long time. Decals, and Colour individual faces (Surfaces). OnShape it ideal for my needs. I often have to massage small electronic parts imported from STEP files. But they normally come in as single colour items. I need to have coloured on different surfaces or even better apply a decal to make them more realistic in Altium (my PCB CAD package).

I'd like to be able to assign threads to shafts in the same way threads can be assigned to holes.
Also the animation thing...If it's good enough for the OnShape front page to have a nice animated assembly, then I WANT IT TOO!!!
Ability to pull dimension in from model on a drawing.

And the sharing thing mentioned above.  It would be good to be able to embed a shared view in another webpage.
