The powerful Replicate is more flexible with components that have mates to other components in the assembly.

    Very nice update. The replicate and in-context improvements will make my day to day use of OS more intuitive.

    Mixed modelling is seriously impressive, we use scan data a lot. Great to see time be spent on polishing the UI for the existing toolset, like the In-context references, Style Panel, Projected Auxiliary Views and Render Studio (although I'd still love to be able to add decals in RenderStudio?). Versions for drawing views is great, I've never had such a positive experience engaging with and using a piece of professional software as I've had with Onshape. The rate of change and development is incredible.

    This is an impressive set of improvements, kudo OnShape/PTC team!
    Mixed Modelling is very handy, as we'll now be able to work with .STL files.
    Annnnnd thanks for fixing Replicate. That's a TIME SAVER.

    Keep up the good work.
