Renaissance - Big update and a new tool

I am excited to announce a new big update to Renaissance!

What is Renaissance?

Renaissance is a collection of automation tools for Onshape with one simple goal: to save you time.
As the leading provider of custom Onshape Apps, I end up with lots of ideas for useful tools for Onshape automation and really know my way around Onshape automation. Renaissance bundles all these great ideas together into one value packed product. New tools are added regularly, with 2 new tools slated to be added this year.

The current list of tools includes:
  •  Assembly component export (which can even export drawings and flat patterns)
  • Configured Part Export
  • Release export
  • Configured release parts
  • Configured drawing generator
  • Assembly Component Share
  • Configured Part Measured Variable Export
  • Find and Replace

Whats new?

This big update has had a big overhaul to the user interface and file exporting.

Previously, exports were all uploaded to the current document. This caused some confusion, as it wasn't always clear when the export was complete.
Large exports can take a while to complete, but we are now offering the option to have a download link emailed to you. No need to keep checking for that zip file.
The old option still exists, as we want to keep Renaissance flexible to meet all users needs.

Users now have their own settings profile in Renaissance.
Under the new settings tab, you will find options for export filenames.
Onshape export rules are supported, but you can also define Renaissance specific naming rules.


Renaissance has new help docs - all in one place.
Previously, the help documentation was a bit hidden away. The new documentation should be a bit clearer, and easier to find.

Find and Replace

The newest tool in the Renaissance toolbox - Find and Replace.
This app makes quick work of renaming by letting the user do a "find and replace" across a number of different fields in a document.
  • Part Names
  • Part Numbers
  • Part Descriptions
  • Tab names
  • Feature Names

    Renaissance has another new update!
    A new tool has been added to Renaissance - "Remove Sketch Constraints".
    This tool will go through all sketches in a part studio and find constraints that are missing geometry, and remove the constraints.
    This is something that can happen if you are copying sketches between part studios or removing upstream geometry.

    A quick and easy way to clean up copied sketches.

    Subscribed today to get this and whole bunch of other great tools.
    New tools added regularly.

    Three new tools have been added to Renaissance, and the best part is that they new additions come at no additional cost. Renaissance is only $30/month providing great value with every update.

    Image Cube

    The image cube app quickly generates a mosaic of a part from each of the orthogonal views.
    For configured part studios, images across a range of configurations can be generated to quickly check for bad configs.

    Configured Properties


    A common challenge that I've come across is creating configured properties when there are a huge number of configurations. Onshape supports copy/pasting from excel, but generating the actual rows in the table can be a challenge.
    With this new tool, Renaissance can generate the rows of your configured properties table for a given range of configuration parameters.



    Find and Replace


    This new tool lets you do a ctrl-f replace across a document.
    Find and replace feature names, part names, tab names, descriptions, and part numbers.
    This tool works within a single tab or an entire document.
    Useful for keeping organized data when creating document copies.
    The preview lets you make sure that all your data will be correctly updated.

    A new update for Renaissance is now live.
    This update includes a number of performance updates and two new tools:


    Assembly Mirror


    Working with symmetrical assemblies has never been easier. This tool inserts copies of selected components at mirrored locations.



    Multiface DXF


    This tool solves the workaround for exporting multiple selected faces as DXF. Great for working with the auto layout feature, but without having to rely on the workaround that involves creating a new drawing.
