What's New in Onshape's Latest Update

 

CAD IMPROVEMENTS

BILL OF MATERIAL ITEMS

We're excited to share a highly-requested feature for enhancing product bill of materials (BOMs).

CALLOUT AND TABLE IMPROVEMENTS

This release includes numerous improvements for tables and the callout feature for ballooning drawings.

Fixed corners are applied to any type of table that you create.

Callouts can also now be created even without a leader. This can be useful for creating pure-text balloons, such as for revision markers or flag notes.

MORE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Another release means more performance improvements. With this release, you can expect to see improved performance on drawing view creation for assemblies with many repeated instances. You'll also see the material library dialog populate much more quickly than before.

VERSIONS AND HISTORY IN DETAILS PANE

Versions and History for an Onshape Document can now be conveniently viewed from the details pane, without having to open the Document.

ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS

CUSTOM WORKFLOWS FOR RELEASE MANAGEMENT

You may now configure both the Release and Obsoletion workflows that your company utilizes within Onshape.

Configuration of these workflows can be completed by editing and uploading a .json file. For more information, please take a look at the Help Documentation.

ACTIVITY VIEW ON DETAILS PANE

The Activity Feed now shows the information about a Document, details of the Document’s recent activity, and Document share permissions.

FEATURESCRIPT IMPROVEMENTS

GROUPING OF FEATURESCRIPT PARAMETERS

FeatureScript parameters can now be grouped to save space in input dialogs. A parameter group can be associated with a driving boolean parameter that hides or shows the group's parameters.

 

AUTOSUGGEST DEFINITION PARAMETERS

When defining a function's action, FeatureScript will now autofill available definition parameters from the precondition.

Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments below. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.

Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents and over the next few days these features will also be available in Documents created before the date of this update.
