Re: Working With Outside Designers

Yes, that's strange indeed. I was aiming to introduce OS in a company I worked for, but when it came to discussing whether we should use Enterprise (Which management kinda loved for they were control freaks), most o the advantages I had been advertising before dissolved.

I feel there should be a "Project Collaboration" feature in Enterprise. This would allow flagging other companies or individuals as cooperators while setting up projects.

Re: How to design to center of gravity?

Still no real answer to my question here.

I really find it hard to believe that a product as mature as Onshape does not provide this very basic capability OOTB (out of the box). I find it hard to believe that real paying customers have not begged for this functionality. I mean sure you can create a mate connector at the center and manually measure and calculate and update your location as the assembly changes but… YUCK! This tool needs the capability to create a "feature" at the CG of a part or assembly and automatically update this location as the design changes.

Re: Coral pattern/shape on 3D-Objekts

I wrote a simple feature to convert the curves to swept pipes. This could be exported as a single stl and printed if you want to. Getting it to blend together organically would be quite tough with this workflow. There are definitely other tools that are more purpose-built for this kind of thing (I'd use Rhino and Grasshopper), but Onshape could probably be made to do it with some dedicated coding
