looking for a solidworks alternative at my workplace

We have more than 50 seats of SolidWorks.  Looking for a cloud-based alternative.  Features equivalent to SolidWorks design tables and splits are required.  Support for ASME Y14.5 and 14.41 is highly desirable, but based on an actual understanding of those standards, which SolidWorks product development lacks.  When do you expect all that will be built into OnShape?

    In Solidworks when you design a multi-body part you can use it in assembly but the whole mutli-body part behaves as one rigid body. If you want relative motion between those parts you need to use the split and save bodies feature.  Onshape does not have this restriction, when a multiple body part is inserted into an assembly you have relative motion between them unless you group them together.
