CAD Improvements

Sheet Metal Jog

The new Sheet Metal Jog feature makes it easy to create precise offset bends with extensive control over bend alignment, angle, direction, and offset. Right-click to set this setting as a default for all future interactions. This feature assists users when creating new sketches or modifying existing ones by providing a better orientation to the sketch plane

Orient normal to sketch

Routing Curve Length Table

Part Studios now feature a dedicated Routing Curve Table providing real-time coordinate and bend radius data for routing curves. Users can switch between coordinate/bend-radius data and length, rotation, and angle tables required for CNC pipe bending equipment, then copy the table data directly for downstream manufacturing applications.

Resize Planes to Bounding Box of Visible Geometry

Mate Connector Cross-Highlighting

Feature Studio Improvements

Enhanced Find and Replace with Rename

Support for Variable Studio Parameters in FeatureScript

Custom features developed in FeatureScript can now reference Variable Studios directly. By replacing manual user inputs with Variable Studio reference parameters, feature authors can enforce standardized size or configuration choices (e.g., Small, Medium, Large) while maintaining parametric flexibility across teams.

Drawing & MBD Improvements

Automatic Drawing View Creation from MBD Data

Unified Geometric Tolerance (GTOL) Dialog

To better unify the experience across MBD and Drawings, the Geometric tolerance dialog box has been updated to better match the existing MBD Geometric tolerance dialog box. This slightly moves the add row button inline with the leader button. Additionally, the symbol drop-down has been replaced with a show/hide symbols button where the material conditions, free state, tangent plane, and projected tolerance zone modifiers have been consolidated.

Symbol Unit Conversion Across Drawing Units

Additional Lower-Right Rows for Surface Finish Symbols

The surface finish symbol tool in Drawings now supports adding up to 4 custom rows in the lower-right region. This enables designers to specify detailed manufacturing parameters, such as surface waviness characteristics or machining allowances.

MBD Inspection Table Isolate State Control

A prominent Isolate button in the MBD Inspection table allows users to quickly isolate and inspect candidate parts during Model-Based Definition workflows in a Multi-part Part Studio.

Data Management Improvements

On-Demand Folder Creation in Move and Copy Dialogs

A new New Folder button inside the Move or Copy dialog allows users to create and instantly navigate into new folders on the fly. This capability is also available when copying workspaces within a document, streamlining file organization.

Release Candidate Naming Conventions

Release candidate workflows now enforce standardized naming conventions, reducing release errors and improving audit traceability.

PCB Studio Improvements

Rigid-Flex PCB Support with Bends

Onshape can create printed circuit board layouts from scratch, including flex and rigid information, and pass them to ECAD systems that support IDX 4.0.  See Rigid-flex PCB for more information.

IDX 4.0 support

Onshape can import and export flex board information from IDX 4.0 files (including Cadence Allegro), maintain component placements across flattened and bent states in assemblies, and export modified models back to ECAD.

View Cube in PCB Studio

The PCB Studio 3D viewport now features an updated View Cube that provides full UI/UX parity with standard Onshape Part Studios and Assemblies.

CAM Studio Improvements

Machine Retract Post-Processing for Heidenhain Controllers

Enhanced post-processor support for generic Heidenhain and TNC640 controllers provides improved machine retract routines during multi-axis milling operations.

Improved Cut Direction Handling for Closed Loops

CAM toolpath algorithms feature refined handling for loop cut directions, ensuring optimal toolpath orientation and surface finish on complex pocket boundaries.

Camera-Oriented Normal Arrows

Directional arrows in CAM Studio have been upgraded to automatically rotate so that their normal always points towards the camera. This solves previous visibility issues where arrow tips were difficult to see from certain angles. This auto-rotating behavior applies to all arrow types, ensuring their directions are always legible.

Render Studio Improvements

Multi-Entity Tessellation via Context Menu

Select multiple scene entities at once and modify their tessellation quality directly via the right-click context menu.

Linking Scene Appearances to Library Appearances

Render Studio offers to automatically link scene appearances to unmodified library appearances, simplifying material management and asset updates across rendering scenes.

Mobile Improvements

AR View for iOS Measure improvements

LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO CONFIGURATIONS

Our new course, Introduction to Configurations, covers the fundamentals of Onshape configurations, including part and assembly configuration basics, to help you efficiently create and manage multiple design variations within a single model.

INTRODUCTION TO MODEL-BASED DEFINITION (MBD)

Learn more about our new MBD Drawing capabilities with the new video added to our Introduction to Model-Based Definition (MBD) course. 

LEARNING CENTER UPDATES

Following our Self-Guided Onshape Bootcamp (English) update, we have updated our Self-Guided Onshape Bootcamp (Traditional Chinese), now designed to mirror the experience of our instructor-led Bootcamps. This comprehensive crash course helps you quickly learn Onshape’s powerful tools, unique benefits, and core workflows at your own pace.

We've refreshed several Learning Center articles with updated content, new feature coverage, and improved guidance to help you get even more out of Onshape. They are available in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, making it easier for users around the world to learn in their preferred language.

• All the Way to Use Mate Connectors
• Advanced Mating Techniques
• Managing Users, Teams, and Content
• Using Onshape as a Read-Only User
• How to Use Where Used
