The Onshape AI Advisor is an AI-powered Onshape expert created using Onshape's large library of learning materials. It is available to everyone in the Onshape Learning Center.CAD IMPROVEMENTS
SKETCH CONSTRAINT MANAGER
The new sketch constraint manager provides a detailed, filterable list of all sketch constraints that highlights conflicts and external references. Delete any of the sketch’s dimensions, constraints, and entities from this list.WINDOW BOX DESELECT
A crossing window can now be used to deselect geometry by using the CTRL key.KEYBOARD SHORTCUT IMPROVEMENTS
Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to Collapse all in list and Expand all in list.
DRAWINGS IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECTED VIEWS AND SECTION VIEWS ON VIEWS WITH BREAKS
When creating a projected view or a section view from another view with breaks, the view inherits the same break definition. Section views can also be created directly from a view with breaks.AUTOMATIC CENTERMARKS FOR PARTS WITH LINEAR PATTERNS
Parts that contain linear patterns now provide automatic centermarks and centerlines upon view insertion.
CUSTOM DATUM TARGET AREA
Datum target symbols can now be created using a custom sketched-in shape or area region of your model.
DATUM ATTACHMENT TO WIDTH DIMENSIONS
ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS
RELEASE AUDIT DASHBOARD IMPROVEMENTS
Release notes and the names of approvers from Release Candidates now appear in the Release Audit dashboard.
RENDER STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
MATCH SCENE PROPERTIES
Match all scene properties of the current Render Studio tab with those of another Render Studio tab. These include settings from the Scene panel, Environment panel, and Named views.
PERSISTENCE OF RENDER OPTION SETTINGS
Render option settings are remembered from the latest render. Settings are retained after the page is refreshed and after logging out and back in. These settings are tab specific.
CAM STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
TOOL LIBRARY UNITS
LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
MULTI-PART PART STUDIO COURSE IMPROVEMENTS
The Multi-Part Part Studios course has been completely redone. It includes brand-new videos and exercises to help users design more effectively.Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments below.

Great update! I'm looking forward to testing the new CONSTRAINT MANAGER and am curious to see how helpful the new AI Advisor will be in real use. Thanks Onshape team!
Devastating series of version names. My first party conic dreams were almost realized.
FINALY section views on views with breaks!!👍
The new "Developer" tab in enterprise settings - does this ensure that an application is owned by the enterprise and not an individual user?
Is this going to be coming to professional as well?
Custom FeatureScript and Onshape Integrated Applications
Sketch Constraint Manager…Yes!
The application is owned by the Enterprise/company and can only be used in the context of the Enterprise.
It's worth the wait, I promise.
Well the sheet metal kernel updated and my cursed no-safeguards sheet metal script riddled with bugs is working now so I'm thrilled with the update.
Curious to try the sketch constraint manager and see what it does!
Match scene and persistent render settings was definitely needed, glad to see these!
Especially excited for this AI integration. For others interested, don't forget to vote on this improvement request so that this tool will be useful for FeatureScript and App development: AI Advisor (Wider Data Range) - Improvement Request
Been looking forward to having a constraint manager for some time now! This looks awesome!
Render studio and quality of life improvements are always fantastic.
Thanks OS Team! We appreciate your hard work in keeping Onshape sharp 😎

SOOO many goodies here! Actual Gods. love this:
-Constraint manager
-AI learning tool
-Seciton Broken views
-Window box deselect (Hopefully this works while making exploded views)
-Cam studio units will be nice once they add homag machines for me to use
Question, what is "Expand all in list"?
I stared at the screen like it was hypnotoad watching the constraint manager. If it had existed 15 years ago when I started using Solidworks I would probably have had a year's worth of time freed up.
Very good , thank you :)
Looking forward to use the Constraint manager.
This is an awesome set of updates! I'm looking forward to using the new constraint manager. I'm also glad to see Onshape using AI tools; I will definitely try this out.
Just wondering when we will see the 2d profile cutting in CAM?

Constrains manager Woooooiiiii 😀
Nice updates 😀
AI advisor is working great, just tested it and the answers are up to date:
Amazing. Constraint manager is brilliant.
Are there any estimates for CAD dealing with 2D cutting? (Nesting, multi sheet workspace, etc.)
Crucial long term decisions are based on this….
Voted most underrated update… window UN-selection.
Constraints manager should be super helpful for diagnosing forum questions 👊
Sure wish there was a select toggle so that users could turn off multi-select on every dang thing as a preference item. This is one of the most frustrating things about Onshape coming from any other 3D CAD platform, including Solidworks.
