Re: we need the CAM studio
I, too, wish CAM Studio was available on the education Onshape license. Right now we use Fusion 360 to do all of our CAM process, which is free for schools. It would be nice to have everything under one umbrella though.
Re: exporting at 1:1
thanks for the comment,
I'll provide some clarification
this is my biggest frustration with onshape currently:
I'm got a project with 160 drawings, the client needs these drawings at 1:1 for the laser, but they also need the drawings to all be A4
. I can add the part numbers now, thanks to your help., but when I want to export the flats, sometimes theyre the wrong way up?
It would be so simple just to export the drawing with everything as I need it at 1:1
is the best option to have a drawing beside the drawing border?

Re: Assign Favorite Materials with a Single Click
I have my own pretty short custom materials list that have only the materials I use most frequently and also have the names and material numbers that match the standards used in this part of the world. It is not exctly what you proposed, but already goes a long way.

Re: Sketch Blocks
for some companies you 100% need sketch blocks, when you are given a very complex pattern, as asked to scale rotate as a whole.
The fact that when you move things, the pattern could slightly change unexpectedly is absolutely a horror then you are to cut the pattern on the $6000 sheet.
Re: Seeing the red
chadstoltzfus said:This is not necessarily a great solution as I also share the belief that there should be more accessibility options in Onshape but if you are using Chrome/Firefox there are several great extensions that can change the color scheme of websites. These are not always guaranteed to work, but I have had great success using a Chrome extension called Dark Reader, which has given me a fairly stable and clean dark theme for Onshape.
