Re: Adjust Perspective?
This seems to be a feature I need at the moment. I've seen other examples with a field of view adjustment (in degrees) which allows the user to manipulate the perspective / lens. Sketchup does it well enough.

Re: Adjust Perspective?
The term for this distortion-level in perspective feature is 'parallax' - it's equivalent to the difference lens FoV; 'Fish-eye' lots of parallax distortion, 'Telescope' minimal distortion. We're trying to get a view of the 3D-object that fills the screen, but doesn't increase the contrast in proportion of items nearest and furthest from the camera.
Re: Adjust Perspective?
Agreed on this one. I work with models around the size of a phone, so the current perspective is not usable for screenshots. Would love to be able to adjust the view based on camera lens ratios like 50mm, 80mm, 130mm.
Re: Adjust Perspective?
This should be possible to do. Would welcome this as it would make it simpler to create nicer looking documentation, without having to go through rendering.
Keep adding comments to keep the thread showing up. This way Onshape will see it popping up.

Re: Adjust Perspective?
Render Studio already has camera controls, but it would be nice to have a basic control of FOV in regular Onshape with perspective on.

Re: why can't Onshape export my drawing properly?
not sure how to send this to support, but this is a brand new doc that basically reproduced the problem. it moved the dimension from where I put it.Bob_Miner said:Yes - please report this issue to Support. It looks like a bug, and one that we would want to fix quickly. The PDF should definitely match the drawing you see in Onshape. Thank you.

Re: The use of Rivets (or other fastener types with typically large part counts) in CAD models
We only "release" things that have revisions, which for us means things we make a specific drawing off. So any "off the shelf" item is never rev-controlled for us. To return the question about releasing rivets, I'm curious: why would you?philip_7 said:@eric_pesty We too are fans of master configurable models to derive from. And that's a nice configurable rivet model! More detailed than ours. Your comment earlier about rivets not being released has me curious: why not?
For that matter we don't even release our top level assemblies in CAD as they are "built up" from modular sub-assemblies outside of the CAD environment and we don't see the value of going through a release process that isn't "driving" anything.
The nice thing with Onshape is that you can release a work instruction drawing of an assembly even if you don't release the assembly itself as you know the released drawing will always point to the correct assembly version.
Re: Announcing Onshape Vision for Apple Vision Pro
I updated the post. The iOS app now has support for Apple Vision Pro as of this weekend. You will need both the iOS app on your iPhone or iPad and the Onshape Vision app installed on Apple Vision Pro.
Re: File size limits free public account
@don_b looks like you've got a lot of data in one document. Split it up.
