Update Templates on the Fly

brucebartlett

I am trying to update to a newer version template. I see there is a closed IR   but I can not see how to do this?

From my understanding, this was closed in response to being able to set the sheet size and zones in drawings (https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/4414/improvements-to-onshape-august-2nd-2016 see #8).  I'm assuming you are looking to hot swap a DWT to change the drawing, which we currently cannot do.

Thanks Jake, thought this was the case, looking forward to the Hot Swap in the future

Hi Bruce,

I've added you to the improvement request for this for tracking.

In general, we opt to be a bit aggressive when it comes to marking improvement requests closed.  The thinking is that it is better to inform when new functionality comes out that improves the related workflow, even if it doesn't fit 100%, as it could be adequate for the current situation.  If more is needed, users can always submit feedback again and that will help us prioritize doing follow on work.

@jakeramsley can you please also add me to the improvement request list for this feature?  We have some older parts that were modeled before the newer drawing template changes (been a while) but would like to transition those over without having to redraw the drawing if possible.
