Improvements to Onshape - April 6, 2015

lougallo

First I would like to thank all of you that have joined our Beta over the past month and submitted feedback to us.  This week we are launching some new functionality around assembly mating, sketching and a few other sharing and subscription updates.  Let's take a look!

Highlights include:

1. Offset option for Fastened, Slider, Planar, Revolute and Pin/Slot mates (distance)
   
   
   
   
2. Screw/Linear relations
   
   
   
   
3. Driven dimensions (will automatically show greyed if driven and can be switched in the context menu.
   
   
   
   
4. Add/delete spline points (deletion is done by selecting the point and hitting Delete on the keyboard)
   
   
   
   
5. Adding or duplicating tabs now places the new tab next to the current/active tab (used to add it to the end..)
   
   
   
   
6. Remove yourself from a shared document
   
   
   
   
7. Reactivate a canceled subscription
   
   
   

We hope you find this wave of improvements helpful and we are already busy on the next batch of functionality so stay tuned.  You can also read our official What's New blog post as well.  As always, please let us know what you think! ~Lou

Add that save button we've been searching for?

Yea, they should add it in, and have it not do anything. Kind of like the close door button in an elevator
