    GREAT UPDATE.

    But is there any reason why the mass properties have been disabled for assembly which has one or more parts without material properties?  I find sometimes it overrides like it used to but mostly it doesn't work and can't seem to work out why apart from adding materials for all parts. Before this update, there was just a blue warning and you would still be a mass calculation for what was available

    It was a regression and will be fixed in the next release of Onshape.

    Great Updates.
    What a shame we still can't dimension Isometric Drawings.

    In 30+ years of consumer and medical product development, I've never needed to dimension an iso drawing. I've never seen a drawing from a vendor or partner with dimensioned iso views. Is this something that is specific to an industry?

    There is a whole standard for 3D Model Based Definition, which some industries are adopting, but again, I never work with vendors or partners who use it. I've had enough trouble using GD&T and getting vendors who can reliably inspect to it.

    The only time I had a requirement to dimension an ISO was for a patent drawing.
    So there are some that may require it, but for what I do I've put a dim on an ISO maybe a dozen other occasions in 15 years, but that was out of convenience (iso was already there and paper was already full of views) and was a clearer view of the area for marking out stuff like paint masking areas. Since the person that is in charge of masking for paint is a low skill laborer that would get easily lost in a technical drawing. Having a 3d iso with some color and dims can be nice. But I wouldn't say it's exceptionally necessary.

    Show depenecies is great. But note it will not work in roll back . so to make sure you get the full list of parants and child you must not be in a roll back.
