Design freeze for parts

marco_caron170

Hey Everyone, I've been using Onshape professionally for about a month or so, after using solidworks on and off as an engineer and student before that for about 12 years, I'm very happy with our decision to make that move. Mostly the transition has been pretty easy except maybe for the first days after importing my complete solidworks project in one project document and one part studio...

Anyhow, I was wondering if there is a way to freeze a specific part, part studio or assembly since I just ordered all the product's display assembly and i want to make sure everything stays in place or get notified if something wants to move.

While we do not currently have a method for "freezing" workspaces you could utilize Release management to create Released parts to signify that they are being manufactured at their current revision. We have plenty of articles and documentation on this topic in our learning center: learn.onshape.com and more specifically:

Thanks Tim, I'll have a look at creating a released part instead
