Re: NEW Video series: Expressions in Onshape
Just dropped part 5 which deep dives into functions.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - October 31st, 2025
Our team is messing around with teams and alias's for task management.
IR - when a task is assigned to an Alias containing a group of people can function be added to allow one of the assignee's to take ownership? This way we wouldn't end up with multiple people working on the same task. It would also provide the task creator a point of contact to check progress. Currently we can add comments, but those comments are not visible from the initial view task dialog. We would have to always be checking the comments to see if someone has picked it up. We would want the task ownership information to be visible on the initial view task dialog window.
Re: Render Battle #7 - Halloween 2025 π (Open Division: any render platform! πΈ)
This constitutes my official submission.
Your pumpkin studio rendered in A1008 cold rolled steel and 304 stainless steel lofted sheet metal.
My rendering platform of choice? Welding bench, obviously.
And a vanity shot for good measure. I'll follow up more with the process in another post later but this was a lot of work to get this guy over the finish line so I'm gonna kick back with a celebratory beer for finishing it without too many issues.
Here's my document, for anyone looking to browse the work.

Lofted sheet metal was the spookiest thing I could think of

@MichaelPascoe here, this should explain what's taking so long.

@Everyone Today is the day! LAST DAY to submit entries! π¨π¨π¨

Thought it would be more fun if I waited till the last minute to submit.
Pumpkin itself took about 40 minutes to carve from start to finish.
This took so long because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do.
Onshape Model - Render Battle #7 (Pascoe)
Here is my entry image / video:
πΈImage render took 11 seconds and zero scene set up! All while not leaving the part studio.
This was done using an app my friend and I are developing and will be releasing soon!π

π₯Video render took 64 seconds with a simple prompt using Veo.

FEATURE REQUEST - INSPECTION DIMENSION RACETRACK/BUBBLES FOR NOTES IN DRAWINGS
This is something that is needed all the time on med device drawings. I know you can make notes that have various outline shapes, but none of the available shapes match the CTQ racetrack that all of our industry recognizes. Below is what one of my engineers did as a workaround. He manually drew 2 lines and then connected them into an inspection racetrack with splines. But this is time-consuming and tedious. Solidworks and Creo both offer this - please give us the ability to create a racetrack around a note. Please also allow for changing the color/line thickness of the racetrack to help it visually stand out to our manufacturers.
Even better would be a custom sketch palette of annotations that users can create, share within the organization, and then apply within sketches or within drawings consistently. Common use cases are brandmarks, CE marks, and other shapes that frequently need to be applied to engineering drawings in the med device industry.
