My most useless FeatureScript ever: 🎶 Panpipe 🎶
I don't even really like pan pipes. Like, I'm fairly minimal with what I own, and wouldn't spend $5 on one, but for some reason, I got it in my head that I could make a feature to produce them in any key, so I had to give it a go. I guess the real reason I couldn't stop thinking about it is that I'm interested in music theory, 3D printing, and FeatureScript and this project is at the intersection of all 3. Maybe it's a good last-minute Christmas gift for those of you with 3D printers. I've done some preliminary prints and it sounds right, I haven't tested it for perfect pitch. I have found that it's possible to make pipes that are so long or short they don't work right. Give it a try!

Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
As usual every Onshape update is full of effective features and improvements. Thank you very much.
About the new logo... I think that there was a precise idea behind the blue color and the unique font. They contributed to make Onshape very recognizable. Also the current green homepage, I find it very common and too much PTC. But that's because I hoped that Onshape would have mantained his own path. However... everything changes. I hope that PTC enhance Onshape respecting his uniqueness.

PLEASE get rid of the blue and green colour scheme. I really can't believe that is a thing.
commit one way or the other.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
really not a fan of the new logo, wouldn't mind a different new one, this one just doesn't fit.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
On the fly variables, this will save some time. So many improvements! Thank you Onshape team!
(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ New logo, not good. The old color and logo were clean, bold, and inviting. Subconsciously, this will affect everyone's first impression of Onshape.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
Always good to get some improvements. Pdf's transparency is a good one, also variables on the fly will help. Thankyou Onshape Team for all the hard work and improvements made this year. Next year I'd love to see some major improvements to release and product data management workflows this could deliver huge time saving to my business.
On the icon, it's growing on me but honestly doesn't really impact me in any way. However, I'd like to see a variation to the forum and web favicon from the application tab.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
I understand wanting branding. I'm over it.
But beyond that, I hope PTC becomes more of a silent owner...
Onshape is where it is today because the staff is amazing and the community cares about the product to give helpful feedback. We give the feedback because Onshape listens and answers every message. I feel if PTC takes over, everything will fall on deaf ears.
PTC should let Onshape continue to be awesome by doing what they do best. Listen and deliver. PTC can just sit back and collect the paycheck.

Re: Thoughts on the logo
Eh, it's a logo. If it makes them happy, it's their aesthetic to do with as they see fit.
That being said, I preferred the old one. It was more recognizable, and reminded me of a periodic table element. It was a nice touch.
However, that's not the issue which gets me to post here. The new color branding-- designed to match the logo-- is what bothers me more than anything. The main page has been updated with the green buttons and, putting it charitably, it's a questionable decision.
Green buttons are not a way to go, no matter who owns the company. It's a question of contrast and readability, not market share and branding. I sincerely hope that the webpage updates are rolled back and in general the green is kept far from UI elements.

@Onshape, please don't make your interface and homepage harder to use just to satisfy branding requirements.

Re: Thoughts on the logo
Yes, it looks like overcomplicated, sharp and small. Especially on small scales like for site icon in the browser tab.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020
The new logo is ok, not a huge fan of it though.
