Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
You know I'm really excited about this new desktop release, but I was really hoping for a cloud version of the same product with zero interoperability, missing half of the features, and a pay-by-module pricing structure with all of the tools spread between confusing classifications of user roles. Any word on when we can expect OnshapExperience?

Huh, nice job, Caden! We didn't think it was possible to build a CAD system that you install on your desktop…

Re: Measurement and Dimensioning Different
Please share a link to your document with copy access and we'll check it out.
Like MD mentioned, it's not measuring from the same spots. If it were a square this would probably be different. Place a mid point on the arc's and then measure from those.
Re: Is there a way to Lock the Z-axis of the part, when using the mouse to rotate the view of the part?
Hi, is there a way to do this on the iPad?
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
@harmanpa We're working on a new type of floating license called a "lottery license" where every hour of the day the seat is randomly assigned to a user in the company. This will force all employees to equally contribute to the work load, and prevents anyone from hogging it for too long.
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
Could it include floating licence support please, so that I can spend an hour walking round the office looking for who has a seat checked-out but isn't using it?

@michael_stalls There is no help documentation included. The help docs are only available in physical media or through in person training sessions in a hotel conference room.
@STEG - Sorry, its only available on laser disk.
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
If you tell me I can have it on 5.25" floppy disks, I'm in! 🤩

Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
first request …due to the beefy size and need for huge amounts of hard disk space perhaps you can separate all the help and how to data into a separate installation that is not included with the main desktop client?
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
As former Catia user this is the update i have been waiting for.
