Short cuts for views, I've beed waiting forever and now it's here
Below a dense mesh and the edges are turning everything gray (shift 1):
Below, (shift 2), and now they're turned off.
In the past, at the end of the day, turning them on/off all day long was tedious.
Arrow key navigation in the feature manager tree, when did this happen? Fantastic!
It's been a while - 1.172 release. :)
So I watched the edit curve video and it's exciting. As someone who always uses trimmed surfaces, I've been wondering about the effects of jagged curves on large designs. It's scary to be told that an iges 144 is crap and should be avoided.
It'd be nice to check the rebuild times by toggling clean vs jagged curves. And then, the robustness of the model. I struggle with thickening surfaces and down stream operations and it takes a lot of time to make a robust model that'll change/update. Will this be easier in the future using the edit curve feature?
It'd be interesting to rebuild an old model and check the time to rebuild and see if you can push the design further. I'm thinking it'll be something for future designs and not so much for older designs. To rebuild this design and improve the curves, that's a lot of work.
Will there ever be a global button that turns on good curve creation for every feature? I'd imagine you could turn it on for old designs and cross your fingers. I suspect there would be a few failures and cleaning a few would be acceptable especially if you had a faster & more robust model after that event?
Great work Onshape, keep it coming!

Rendering with decals is now fantastic. 1 button click render is an engineers dream.
I actually ended up reading the manual and here's a mapping of PS materials to rendered materials

You really can make rendering a one button click operation.
This update is INSANE!
Congrats Onshape team on this release.
Looks like Christmas did come early this year 😎

Thanks for the update.
I haven't been able to figure out how to assign a keyboard shortcut to show / hide constraints in sketch. Checking if that's possible?
It is not - only top level operations/features are supported. Please create an improvement request through Contact Support.
No worries, thanks @NeilCooke
That's been previously logged as an improvement request here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/25154/keyboard-shortcut-show-hide-constraints
Please please make thickness analysis available for all paid accounts, this is such a huge important feature for everyone that is standard on many other CAD packages!
Edit curve - very nice tool! This will be awesome. Hole callout update, disappointing really. Hardly worth mentioning. Was anticipating being able to have the hole callout for cross-sections as well. Please include this soon, please.
Thanks for the updates, but still waiting for the most important ones - performance! (especially in assemblies when coooperate with the team on one assembly). In this moment it is hard to work on bigger assemblies in Onshape
what is a "bigger assembly"? Is the bad performance related to internet, graphics or server-side operations?
I'm trying to use a curve from this parametric curve feaurescript [1] as a loft surface profile, and I want to use it as a normal end condition. The equation is planar, however maybe Onshape doesn't recognise this. The error is "Only planar profiles are valid for Normal/Tangent to profile end condition".
I would have thought that the new planarize feature would add this attribute to the curve so that it can now be used as an end condition profile.
I've tried hacking it by sweeping a straight line that has the midpoint on the curve down the curve, and then splitting it, but the curve doesn't quite match up annoyingly!

Hi @Jakub_Kościelniak. Please open a support ticket describing what you are seeing as slow and share your document with support. Thanks!

how is it possible to see the #D model while editing the sketch as picturised in this video:? I am on a Mac.
