Re: LiveWorx ???
Hi Darren,
The one big thing that is missing is the sneak peek. 😭
No, seriously, there is probably not much difference in coverage. It is harder to justify travel for hrs just for a 1 or 2 hrs. Vs. something like Liveworx, which was a couple of days.
I also feel like I lost touch with many Onshape users since the user group thing was dropped, and some of these other events were also dropped. A number of the shows that Onshape attends are not in my line of work. For example, I am not going to take off work to attend an MD&M event because it is not part of my field of work. (not that I would not enjoy it) It just does not make financial sense.
Perhaps the thing that I feel is missing is events where the common ground and attraction is onshape. (I realize there have been a few Onshape-specific events over the past year, but none have been close enough to me or fit my schedule to justify attending.)
can I add extra truetype fonts to Onshape?
Is it possible to add fonts to the font library in Onshape?
Re: Improvements to Onshape - November 22nd, 2024
Checking the changelog, there shall be an update regarding pasting tables from Google Sheets or MS Excel. There's definitely some improvement done, but a lot is still missing.
Changelog: Support styling (bold, italic, cell colors ..) and cell width/height on paste from Excel/GSheets in Drawings
- Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough works
- Other types of styles unfortunately did not improve
- Cell height/width is somewhat changing, but is definitely not the same as from input
- Font size is not computed correctly from "pt" to "mm" (I believe that's why the cell sizing is wrong as well)
Thanks for looking into this 🙂

Re: Custom Materials List
I think it's better to let go of trying to add plant species to the material list.
It's probably more suitable to create a custom property LAI and set it with a simple FS and call upon those to calculate the Green Plot Ratio.
same goes for the plants area, which may need some additional selection. I don't know how you model this, but if they are parts, how else is Onshape going to know which surfaces of the part to be using for the calculation?
Re: Mass moment of inertia
- Moments of inertia
- Calculated with respect to the common centroid of the selected parts/faces (not the Part Studio/assembly origin)
- For parts, calculated using the densities of the assigned materials assigned. Any selected parts without materials assigned are omitted from the calculation. If no materials are assigned to any selected parts, no calculation is made.
