Re: New and Stuck with getting logo on a angled surface
There are some issues with your approach, but I think you can get to something workable anyway. I created a plane and moved your image trace there. It isn't working to boolean the parts together I think because the trace is fairly wonky, BUT if you don't mind the logo protruding instead of cutting away, this doesn't really matter as you can export and print as a single stl even if they're not merged here. You could possibly even subtract one part from the other in your slicer after the fact and it might work since it's doing very different math than Onshape needs to.

Re: curve meeting edge, but not a fillet
A centered rectangle and a couple of 3 point arcs (mirror first arc to save time and easier to update) will get you there. Make the vertical line construction.
Re: Simulation
Have you taken this Learning Center course?
Should be pretty technical and workflow-focused. Unless that's the one you found to be too salesy.

Re: Regarding storage capacity, user limits, and PLM integration
- Storage is cheap these days. Onshape's cloud storage and compute is all based on AWS. You'll find that documents that haven't been touched in a while will take longer to load. Documents that were last touched by someone on your team halfway around the world may also take longer to load. I don't know the details, but I can infer that there are different levels of storage at the various Onshape AWS sites, and that when something has been active on a different server, it may take a moment to sync the changes around the world. Having managed Solidworks PDM Pro between the US and China (and trying to keep the syncing working smoothly), and spent a lot of time with my then CIO on server costs etc, I really don't want to waste my life on those details ever again.
- The free version of Onshape is for non-commercial work only. I doubt anyone is paying for windchill for their hobbies. I have no clue about Onshape/Windchill integrations. Arena (also owned by PTC) has a first party integration which is supposed to work well.

Re: Emojis within feature notifications 😀☠️💣
Love doing that. It also support unicode, so you can name your features in style with a unicode text converter.
