When working with lots of branches and lots of changes across many different Part Studios, Assemblies, Drawings and other tabs, it is sometimes difficult to know exactly what the effect of a merge will have on your document.

Now when you start a merge operation, Onshape will provide you with a new interface to help you understand the effects of merging one branch with another.  This will make it possible to allow for selective, per tab merge operations.

DRAWING IMPROVEMENTS

NEW GD&T SYMBOLS

Two new GD&T symbols for Continuous feature and Spotface have been added. These can be found in the dropdown menu for symbols in dimensions and annotations.

FLAG NOTES

Flag notes are a method of cross-referencing one area or annotation on a drawing to a list of notes. If a numbered list type is used in notes, the notes can then be flagged to reference other references on the drawing. This helps to communicate information clearly.

FORMAT PAINTER

The Format painter tool provides the ability to transfer the style from an existing annotation to other annotations on the drawing. This is much faster than opening the Styles fly-out menu for each annotation and manually adjusting the styles.

DIAMETER AND RADIUS DIMENSION STYLE

For radius and diameter dimensions, there is now a new option under the Dimension Styles fly-out menu to change the dimension line. For diameter dimensions, the dimension line can be changed to double arrows inside or outside the geometry being dimensioned. For radii, the dimension line can be extended to the center point with arrows inside or outside the geometry being dimensioned.
