Improvements to Onshape - October 12, 2015

I got away with just scanning on that one. It is beat up plastic and more precision would be a waste.

I made the part public. You can see it at "gsxr 1000 seat mount". Not sure how to get a link?

Just coy the document URL, if its public you`ll be able to share it :

Great progress yet again!

But i have to agree drawings are still needing quite a bit of work in terms of performance and functionality.

As far as adding more dimension types to drawings its great to have options but i'm hoping that ultimately there will be a "Smart" Dimension that handles most situations and then the option (ideally on RMB) that allows you to switch to one of the specific types for that pesky dimension you can't quite grab.

Having to select many different types of dimension just isn't very user friendly. In the short term just adding more to the right click context menu would be handy to stop having to revisit the menus. 

Spot on!! Also need Third Angle projection desperately.

This highlights just how useful it would be to add the "Up to Vertex" end condition to extrudes and revolves in Onshape; it would eliminate the need for creating an extra "Line-Point" construction plane in each of @nav 's Part Studios.

How would you determine the capping surface if it is just a vertex?  There are an infinite different surfaces that intersect a single vertex.  With extrude I could see keeping the normals co-linear, but what would you use for revolve?

@jakeramsley
Surely for a revolve, the termination would be a plane through the revolve axis and the specified vertex?

 I'm sure it's not that simple, but I'm not sure what I've overlooked.

Third angle is available, but only with ISO templates at present

@andrew_troup I believe that ISO templates are first angle and ANSI are third angle.

oops - sorry!
