We are back with another big update. This update includes exciting new technology, and a long list of highly-requested new features. Let's dive in. 

ONSHAPE AI ADVISOR (BETA)

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.

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

Datum symbols can be attached directly to a dimension value for a width, adding it to the extension line, ensuring datum symbols move in-line with the dimension.




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 

When creating or editing a tool, an option exists for a separate unit (Inch or Millimeters) for each cutter, holder, and arbor beyond the Document Workspace units. The unit will also be saved to the library.

LEARNING CENTER 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. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.
