Distorted, exaggerate perspective view is a deal breaker!

in General
As an Industrial Designer I have to make al lot of design on surface quality and appearance.
Due to the exaggerate perspective view of Onshape it's really hard to do.
I usually do export my files and check them in Rhino. That workaround cost so much time that I am seriuosly considering to go back to Solid Works.
There are post addressing this issue from 2015.
That's not rocket science.
Why has't it been addressed in such a log time?

Noooooo! Don't go back. Its terrible! 😉
Well, I know.
That's why I wanted to change.
But "flying blind" is not an option.
Industrial designer here. I too have requested options to set the field of view of the perspective lens. I hope they add it since right now it's appropriate for a car, but not a handheld device. But that said it's definitely never made me consider switching. The zebra stripes, curvature color map, and curvature combs have been great for evaluating actual continuity and surface quality. You can also do aesthetic checks with Render Studio directly in Onshape. You can change the field of view there, and apply better materials to evaluate by anyway.

Another Industrial Designer here. I have also noticed the perspective not being ideal for all product sizes, but sure not to the extend that would justify Rhino … ;0)
I have had complaints only when showing stuff on a real wide aspect monitor. The distortion comes most prominent at the outer left and right edges on these, when the zoom is about adequate for the center. That is why I have a large, but more traditional aspect ratio display. It's okay there.
In Render Studio, the angle of view can be adjusted, so for renderings, it is not much of an issue.
