edited January 2016 in New in Onshape
Onshape was recently updated and this will be the first of many releases without the BETA label.  Last week we announced the commercial version of Onshape along with our private BETA launch of the App Store.  A few statistics from our Beta program:
  • Over 10,000 users participated
  • 400,000 hours of modeling performed
  • 4,000,0000 model features created
  • Imported/Exported 390,000 files
  • Created 325,000 STL files
Soon the Onshape App Store will be widely available offering partner solutions in a number of categories:
  • Simulation
  • CAM
  • Rendering
  • Content
  • Design
  • Import/Export
  • Productivity
  • 3D Printing

Here are some additional highlights of the recent update:

  1. NEW Replicate - Automated mate utility in Onshape Assemblies to copy and populate components.

On behalf of Onshape, I would like to thank all of you that participated in our Onshape Beta and Pre-production programs!  The amazing feedback and forum discussions have helped us get to this point and we will continue the discussion far into this commercial release.  Happy cadding!  ~Lou

Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new documents and over the next few days these features will also be available in documents created before the date of this update.

    Some great new features ie. replicate and GD & T as well as subtle changes . I noticed now when I select a part in the part studio all of that parts features are highlighted in the feature tree, very handy as trees and parts lists grow.

    That replicate feature will come in real handy.  Nice update!

    Lest the readers here think that @brucebartlett is writing his own code, has access to a future version or is simply drinking earlier in the day than the rest of us, what he is actually referring to is a subtle change to our coloring and highlighting schemes that now show a primary and secondary component. 

    Example 1: I edit an extrude feature. The Extrude in the FM gets the primary highlight and the constituent sketch (that is sometimes absorbed in other CAD systems) is highlighted as the secondary (light gray with a blue underline).

    Example 2: I highlight a component in an assembly that is buried three sub-assemblies deep in the product. Starting from the top level sub-assembly that contains the selected part, each sub-assembly is highlighted with the secondary color and so on down to the selected part which receives the primary highlight. 

    Make sense? :)

    michał_1 This is my mistake, this capability was removed for that update.  The video should not have been available.  I apologize.

    Hopefully very soon we will have this.

    It's been a while since the last public update now. When can we expect more goodies from the Onshape team?  :-)
