This is the first release since our Public beta launch last week and we have some great additions I hope you'll all enjoy.  Updates to sketching, mates and imports were all big headliners as well as a few honorable mentions that you may have already found.
Highlights include:

  1. Split curves - In sketches you can now split curves into segments with the new Split tool. (Video here)



  2. Progressive graphics - Graphics load incrementally, when required, allowing a performance boost to tab switching and decreasing the time to interact with the graphics area.

  3. SolidWorks Pack and Go support - Uploading a SolidWorks Pack and Go zip file will translate to Onshape with all contained components.

  4. Gear and Rack and Pinon mate connectors are now available.

We have posted an official announcement of this release on our blog and I want to thank @Philip_Thomas for his videos showing this new functionality!  More stuff to come and you won't have to wait a year to see it!  As always, we love to hear your comments and there is more to come soon!  Stay tuned.  ~Lou

    The View support tickets is a great way of seeing what you have submitted or want to send in general comments.  If you have something you need to show us, use the ? Menu -> Feedback tool in Onshape (ProTip: CTRL U).

    Are we looking at April 7 before we see the next update or could we get lucky and see it before that.
