Wel, well, well. Onshape features this year to date? A buck 0′ two. That’s right, Onshape has passed the 100 mark with a small nod and rumors of cookie dough ice cream for all Onshape employees over the next month on everyday that ends in ‘Y’.
It’s a modest update, a modest update of MASSIVE SHEET METAL AND VARIABLE FILLET ENORMITY with a splash of toolbar customization thrown in to make all us static toolbar haters happy. High-fives.

Top 3 Onshape Updates (09.08.17)
Sheet Meta Tab – Create tabs in sheet metal parts. You can create multiple tabs with a single feature and you can define a subtraction scope for subtracting tabs from other sheet metal parts.
Variable Fillet – A new option in the Fillet command now allows you to create a fillet with a variable radius.
Sheet Metal Corner/Bend Relief Size – You can now specify a size for sheet metal corner and bend reliefs. In the past, this was limited to a scale factor.
Other updates
Customize Toolbar – You can now customize the toolbars in the Part Studio, Assembly, and Feature Studio environments.
Note Improvements – The Note command in Onshape Drawings can now be used to create both a normal Note and a Note with Leader.
Phantom Tangent Edges – You can now show tangent edges in drawing views as “Phantom” edges.
Drawing View Section Performance – Section Views in Onshape Drawings will now be cached. This should improve section view performance and lead to a noticeable decrease in load times of drawings with section views.
You can see videos and screenshots that breakdown each new features here. We’ll be keeping a closer eye on what Onshape is releasing with each update, so let us know what features you’re watching for or want to see the most!
