Re: Increase in general bugginess
To be honest, we've had a few scaling issues recently and there were some additional bumps around the 1.193 deployment on Friday and again yesterday morning (mostly in Europe). We pushed some changes yesterday afternoon that have really helped things.
If you are seeing 30s to open a sketch or several minutes to load something small, please open a support ticket.
As for relations breaking, please open support tickets on that too. That's the only way we will be able to make the service better for everyone.
Re: Anyone already wrote a feature script for "slotted bending" (sheet metal)?

Had a little bit of a challenge designing a custom sprocket for a larger than standard chain pitch. I am amazed at how easy it was to do in Onshape. The variable table only has three values that are manipulated and the rest are equations to control the size and the tooth form. Switching between all of the options made this a breeze and was much easier than doing it in other CAD programs. I can honestly say that getting an Onshape license was probably the best thing I could have done for my career, and my appreciation for it grows every day.

Very happy about sketching on drawings!

Here is an early unofficial entry. 😉
Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time ☕(Winner gets a real Prize!)
Hey! First post on the Onshape forums, I'm pretty active on the subreddit and often find answers here but somehow don't find myself here otherwise.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much smoke and mirrors everybody else has to incorporate to get some of the incredible past results I've seen, but here is my own coffee mug, redone in Onshape.
Here is the actual mug from the store I bought it from. Really struggled to get the earthiness of the mug right, but pretty happy with the overall result!
Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 31st, 2025
Are you kidding? Other common CAD programs like Creo and SW are about 4,000 USD per year, and they don't have PDM or CAM at that price. OS is a bargain for companies.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 31st, 2025
EDU will be addressed with CAM later after some time with commercial customers.
Re: STL Import Translation Failed
We're continuing to improve our mesh repairs. Sharing your models with supports could help us track down the problems.
