DRAWINGS IMPROVEMENTS
REFER TO CUT LIST DATA ON CALLOUTS
Cut list data can now be referenced directly in callouts for views of individual cut list parts, even if the source Composite frame is not present in the drawing.
DUPLICATE ROWS OR COLUMNS IN GENERAL TABLES
General tables on drawings now support duplicating rows and columns with current values.
DATA MANAGEMENT
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ADD ASSOCIATED DRAWING BUTTON IN RELEASE CANDIDATES
The button to add associated drawings to a release can now pull drawing references from versions, including versions from other documents. Additionally, the button can now pull out of date drawings from both versions and workspaces
SUPPORT FOR TEAMS AND ALIASES AS TASK ASSIGNEES
Tasks in Onshape Enterprise can now be assigned to Teams or Aliases, not just individuals. This streamlines task workflows and improves collaboration for shared responsibilities.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
UPDATED LANDING PAGE EXPERIENCE
The Onshape landing page has been updated for improved consistency and usability, based on user feedback. Expect a cleaner layout and more intuitive access to recent documents and filters. For Enterprise accounts, the top bar navigation has shifted to the left side of the screen.
DRAG-AND-DROP IMPORT ON DOCUMENTS PAGE
The Documents landing page now supports drag-and-drop of imported files directly.
RESIZABLE PROPERTIES DIALOG
The Properties dialog can now be resized, giving you more room to view and edit metadata, especially helpful when working with long property lists or custom attributes.
UNDO LAST CHANGE TO VIEW ORIENTATION
A new undo action allows you to instantly revert your last view orientation change.
CAM STUDIO
SUPPORT FOR AIR COOLANT
CAM Studio now includes an Air coolant option in each operation’s posting settings, letting users specify external air cooling during machining for more accurate post-processing and setup documentation.
RENDER STUDIO
DRAG-AND-DROP FUNCTION ATTACHMENT FROM RIGHT PANEL
You can now drag and drop functions directly from the right panel library to attach them to appearance properties. This complements the traditional lower-panel workflow and speeds up complex material setup.
MOBILE
REVAMPED TOOLBAR AND FEATURE GROUPING ON iOS
The iOS apps for iPhone and iPad now feature a redesigned toolbar that takes advantage of expanded screen space on modern devices. Feature tools are grouped by type, with recently used tools appearing in the upper right for faster access and improved efficiency.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.
Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents. Over the next few days, these features will also be available in Documents created before this update. Mobile app interface updates occur via the Apple App store or Google Play store and happen in the days following the update.

Good stuff! I already set a shortcut for Previous View

Lots of nice updates. The iOS one is actually pretty huge. The UX of the previous toolbar was so broken, I really couldn't deal with it, but now I can see doing more actual work on an iPad.

Solid, quality-of-life improvements in this release.
nice!
I don't see the IOS update on my phone, it is still the same and it doesn't say there is a update for the Onshape App
@Matthew_Rosete380 the iOS updates happen over the next few days via the Apple App Store. Keep an eye out for the notification there…
Duplicate Table rows/columns gets a tick from me!
There is an update I keep waiting and wanting to see… I work with sheet metal often. On drawings- There needs to be a way to hide some of the automated bend notes. As it is, you can either hide all or show all. The automated bend notes will put multiple callouts on a singular bend line when there is a cutout somewhere on the line. - A bend note is added both sides of the cutout. Some bend lines have many cutouts along the bend. This makes for very messy drawings. I usually end up hiding all bend notes and manually inputing the bend callouts. I have run into this issue many times. I recommend an automated faint construction line that connects across the cutout spaces to show that it is a singular aligned bend. I hope this is an easy update to implement. Thank you!
"RESIZABLE PROPERTIES DIALOG"
Great!!!
Now, please make dimension input fields in sketches also resizable! 😏
I sure hope Sheetmetal Loft is for the Chrismas release at the latest 😉
@robert_johnston If you want it bad enough you can loft sheet metal right now using Surface Flatten and a busted custom featurescript like I did over on the latest Render Battle thread. It's a slightly more laborious workflow but not too bad.
Derek Van Allen | Engineering Consultant | MeddlerI stumbled upon the ability to grow the properties menu this morning. Awesome! Didn't see there was an update on Halloween
Our team is messing around with teams and alias's for task management.
IR - when a task is assigned to an Alias containing a group of people can function be added to allow one of the assignee's to take ownership? This way we wouldn't end up with multiple people working on the same task. It would also provide the task creator a point of contact to check progress. Currently we can add comments, but those comments are not visible from the initial view task dialog. We would have to always be checking the comments to see if someone has picked it up. We would want the task ownership information to be visible on the initial view task dialog window.
