    CONFIGURATION PANEL SEARCH FILTERS looks great. I would like the same for variable studios.

    this actually looks really cool

    Wow! Too many good feature improvements. Onshape team is spoiling us! Assy Cross Section In-Context and Sweeping changes are nice QOL. I'm excited and curious about MBD with STEP 242, does anyone have recommendations for using that capability with 3d printer slicers which don't natively process PMI from 242?

    For example, on my Bambu 3D printer, holes come out undersized by about a nozzle diameter. It is easy enough to compensate in CAD by using an equation so the step file is larger and prints at my desired tolerance. However it gets messy when trying to remember what has /hasn't been compensated as not every feature requires this precise adjustment and sometimes multiple prints are needed to dial in the proper correction for irregular features. It seems like a better approach is possible but I'm not sure how / if I'm missing something.

    Non critical example of this recurring problem today. Non-issue since this hole is for sewing thread (a pants button of mine broke. I blame Fat Tuesday)

    Love MDB!!!

    But how can we have both shaft and hole tolerances? for example Ø40H7/h6

    This is an impressive update. I need to play with the individual improvements before commenting on details, but from what I see upfont, I expect it to have a big impact on my everyday work.

    Wow what an update…thank you Onshape MBD is going to make a real difference.

    So many great updates in this version

    Thank you for starting on MBD! Now just need to add this to assemblies/weldments. And integrate with drawings for given parts.

    To @arturas_malinauskas542 's point, it would be fascinating if, with tolerances, we could export a model at LMC or MMC.

    Maintaining the section view when editing in-context is proving to be a real time saver….who knew! Brilliant.

    Anyone else having a problem moving parts in an assembly after this update? If I add a revolute mate, and only that mate, the part shows that there are degrees of freedom (i.e. rotational) but I cannot move the part. Or if the part has a slider mate, and only the slider mate, it does not translate along the axis if I try to drag it. Neither mate has any limitations so they should move and they both show in the tree as having degrees of freedom. This just started happening after this update.

    This is a huge update. Looking forward to more updates like MBD on drawings - and tolerance stack up analysis!

    We know the Onshape team is just getting started on MBD.

    Please file a support ticket on this so our team can investigate.

    Done. This seems to be an issue in existing files only. When I build a new assembly there are no issues.
