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.![Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5022071/uploads/editor/cu/ffiwfbb3s2f0.png](https://us.v-cdn.net/5022071/uploads/editor/cu/ffiwfbb3s2f0.png)

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

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!
