Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
Can I please have a copy to install on the boss's desktop tower PC? That way, we could tell him he could now remotely check on what everybody is currently doing at any time, which will make him super happy, while at the same time he could be kept fully occupied all day and would not ask silly whiny questions.

See how the 15mm dimension extension line overlaps the arc?

How did you pack your computer for him? Cardboard box or wood crate? Laptop or desktop?
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
@Caden_Armstrong So I wanted to send my collegue some onshape desktop files with pack-and-gone-wrong, but something isn't working.
He says he can't open them and I suspect he is not running the same version of Onshape desktop?

glen did you clear that with Evan? Lol. Likewise I can spare a few minutes every now again to help if you can’t find anyone. Also happy to answer dms or emails as needed.

Re: We need longer auth sessions
Personally, I'm not sure I'm getting exactly what the issue is. Your saying you want it to be like google or somthing? For example, when I bootup my computer and open chrome, I can click on my google drive and it just opens without me having to login first. That's what your hoping the onshape login experience could be like? You want the authentication token to have a longer expiration time. It seems like they should be able to do that without it hogging resources on AWS but I certainly have a tiny little microgram worth of insight into the underlying system. It would seem a valid oauth token that persists for a long time isn't forcing AWS to stay booted and connected to a user. Where I work, we use some custom applications that interact with onshape. Once the application initiates the authorization flow and it succeeds, a users authentication to the API lasts for many days. But, I really have never been bothered by having to click one button at the start of each day to open up my onshape home screen. I guess I sort of agree though that auth tokens seem like they should be able to remain valid for many days without burdening AWS.
Re: 3Dfindit: Help, I'm going nuts!
Try McMaster-Carr and see if you get what your looking for. Lots of hardware to select from.
My best feature yet 😱
Hi everyone, I was recently revisiting my Pan Pipe custom feature and noticed it's only been linked 8 times as of now, which really surprised me given the feature's broad applicability. To help get the word out I made this video explaining both the why and how of using this incredible custom feature. Tell your friends to stop wasting time doing it the old way! I want enough people using this to move the national GDP!
