I Would Like To Purchase Five Documents...

or 1 or 2 or 3...to own in perpetuity. My subscription renewal is due again and I still have only a single project I would like to keep as a private document but must pay as if I will need unlimited access to unlimited documents. I know this conversation is old and the principles at Onshape have no sound business reason to change their subscription model but what if we as users could purchase documents at a set fee per doc? Just a thought...

Now that I've used Onshape for a while, I see this as very unlikely scenario. A document could contain Unlimited Tabs, infinite versions and infinite branches. I this as being a problem since I'm sure some customers would make "the most" out of their purchased documents

Yeah, very unlikely I understand, and would only work if there were limits in Tabs etc. Doable, but unlikely at the very best.....

I just thought it might have been a unique approach to purchase docs on a per doc basis...but I think the dead horse analogy might be the most appropriate...

You just needed to find someone on the other side of the world and the lease their log on for when they're sleeping...

Just saw a video advert for Onshape (pretty good actually) so figured you were doing well. Seemed like a good time to start throwing sarcasm grenades...

Fair enough

I'd like that too or some other lower-than-pro cost for private documents but the request seems futile.  I wonder if taking a low-cost CC course would get one an EDU license?  Those have private documents, I think.  I hate to play those kinds of games, though.
