Even LiveWorx '23 does not stop the Onshape team from delivering updates! This release includes excellent improvements to the Hole tool, renaming folders, and drawings.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
RENAME FOLDERS
Folders can be renamed inline within the breadcrumb area, similar to inline document renaming.FEATURESCRIPT SHORTCUTS
All Feature Studio keyboard shortcuts are now displayed with the rest of the Onshape shortcuts in a separate section accessible from the Help menu.PART STUDIOS
SNAP INFERENCES TO ARCS AND ELLIPSES
Arcs now offer snapping to 180 degrees increments, and ellipses snap to quadrant points.HOLE TOOL - THREAD CLASS DESIGNATION
Tapped holes created in a Part Studio offer Thread class choices that appear downstream in Hole tables and Callouts on Drawings.ASSEMBLIES
SIMULATION WILL SUPPRESS NEWLY ADDED LOADS
When more than one Simulation is present, any loads added to the active Simulation are automatically suppressed in the pre-existing Simulations, ensuring no conflicts between the active and pre-existing Simulations.DRAWINGS
AUXILIARY VIEW DEFINED IN LINE
The direction for an Auxiliary view can be defined parallel to the base view, in addition to the perpendicular direction.PCB STUDIO
"OTHER" OUTLINE SUPPORT
An additional keep-out zone is now supported called "OTHER_OUTLINE" that is helpful for some companies to label solder mask, copper pads, and cover layers that defy definition using other types of outlines.MOBILE
SECTION HEADERS
Onshape for iOS includes section headers that separate Documents, Folders, Projects, and Publications as they do for the web version.FILTERS FOR ANDROID
Instance search filters are available to find objects quickly by type and keyword. This works on Part Studio and Assembly tabs.EDUCATION ENTERPRISE
DASHBOARD
The Onshape Education Enterprise Class Dashboard has been updated to improve educators’ review process. It now shows Class Modeling Time, Submission Status, Time Spent by Tab, and Assignments Activity.Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments below. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.
Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents. Over the next few days, these features will also be available in Documents created before this update.Regards,

I'm a little confused about the Feature Studio keyboard shortcuts. There's a much longer, much better list here (which in itself may not be 100% complete - Ace has a lot of keyboard shortcuts):

@S1mon
A majority of those shortcuts are actually typical to most text editing and coding. However I agree that they should still be included. Yes experienced people may assume those shortcuts but I imagine at least 20% of people using feauture script are doing it for the first time.
@S1mon I agree. There are many more keyboard shortcuts in FeatureScript, and it is probably better to group them in a separate option or menu
Nothing really remarkable in the code change review, except...

A request for the hole tool: please, please add an "up to next"-equivalent option. Whenever I drill holes in a hollow part I have to do them as blind holes and set the depth directly - being able to have the hole go through a single solid wall and then stop would be a huge productivity improvement!

On another note, are the 'Project' Folders only for enterprise subscriptions?
Really nice to see mobile catching up to the browser functionality.
Thanks team for the nice update, it was fantastic meeting each of you at Live Worx 23!
