New Onshape Logo

Please vote-up if you fell off your chair too when you saw the new logo

EDIT2: This used to be an improvement request with a relatively high amount of votes. But it was moved to general, so no more voting.

EDIT: Found some discussions here:

Re: Why is my sheet metal flat view reversed from my isometric view?

Right now there is no way to define the 'up' direction in sheet metal models. We pick an 'up' for you on body creation and all of the bend directions are relative to that. Like you pointed out, your model won't be built incorrectly, it is just isn't the direction you wanted.

We also only show the bend centerlines and bend notes on one side.

We know this is an issue and are looking to address it in the future.

Re: Section views in drawings

Please vote for the Aligned Section view improvement if you want it. Aligned section views have a portion of the view that is folded out from the centerpoint/pivot point of the cutting line, and another portion that is projected. Our current section tool only does projection portions. For cylindrical parts, aligned section views can save you an extra section view. Until we provide an aligned section tool, many users create two section views, and perhaps one of them might even be a partial section view. You can turn any current section view into a partial section view by dragging the cutting line endpoints into the view.

Re: Boolean Intersect with MESH

Here is a Boolean FeatureScript that I put together that supports solid parts, surfaces and meshes (I just updated it to support meshes).

@lougallo
When has Onshape supported booleaning of meshes since?

Re: Thoughts on the logo

Please vote up.

Really, I am bit disgusted with the new logo.
It just does not fit the interface and the open feel of Onshape, exactly like the threadstarter describes.
The sharp corners, the standard font letters. Just like any other CAD software: Onshape is not that!

Practically, the GREEN thing draws my attention. I feel I have to look in the top left corner. Ow wait, it's only the logo...

The tiny light grey letters on the light grey background, so impractical.
The amount of white-space (or grey space) around the logo in the corner, it does not look good.

And pleaaase, do not tell me this is only the first step and everything wil be green instead of blue... :'(
