Why doesn't Onshape support sketch blocks or sketch scaling?

    Hmmmm …. I don't actually miss sketch blocks too much. What I miss more is a more performant sketch patterning, sketch copying and sketch mirroring, maybe sketch instancing. Sketches could use a little bit more parametrics.

    Imported DXF's for graphics and logos is one area where Sketch Blocks should be the norm. There are instances where I've imported graphics I created from Illustrator and then had to follow a weird workaround to be able to scale the graphics in a parametric way (Import→Extrude→Derive→Transform). Imported DXF's in Onshape are very user-unfriendly and the scaling tool inside of the sketch solver is not parametric.
