Improvements to Onshape - July 13th, 2021
CAD IMPROVEMENTS
IMPORT IMPROVEMENTS
Split into multiple documents is improved to take advantage of our unique document structure.
IMPROVED ARRAY AND MAP ITERATION FOR FEATURESCRIPT
Now, define your for loops with the key and value within the declaration:
for (var index, value in myArray)
{
...
}A similar syntax is allowed for maps as well:
for (var key, value in myMap)
{
...
}These improvements are equivalent syntax to the existing map/array iteration in Featurescript. See the Featurescript Documentation for more details.DRAWING IMPROVEMENTS
TABLE SUPPORT FOR ALT + ENTER
Create new lines within a table by holding ALT(Option) while pressing Enter.

Change detection to prevent making unnecessary revisions will be a lifesaver. I've had to make so many individual obsoletions to correct that mistake.Ben Taylor

Really like teh import organizing that is done.1

The new import feature is awesome. I had an assembly I had to upload that has a cluster of subassemblies in it and it parceled the subs out with their parts in each document. It is so easy to find the items I need to work with in this structure. I'm doing my happy dance!2
