Is there any Sheetmetal Functionality available in ONSHAPE ?

LesChapeaux

I can't see any icons relating to Sheetmetal in the toolbars.
Is this due soon or am I missing it.
I'm just evaluating the Free Subscription at present.

HI @LesChapeaux. There is no sheetmetal functionality yet. We usually don't talk about Onshape futures, but sheetmetal has been highly requested. We have been actively working on it.

Great news! Also waiting eagerly for sheet metal tools before Onshape would be of much use to us.

@LesChapeaux & @Hendrik, I think sheetmetal is highly requested improvement feature till time. So please vote for this improvement request which is already raised by some other user in past. Please vote for this improvement request by visiting below link.

In near future we hope that this facility will be provided by Onshape.

@viru, ok, I did that.
Hopefully Onshape is listening...

Hi @Hendrik_. We are definitely listening. We understand the importance of sheet metal functionality. We are investing a lot of resources in getting it right.

There may even be some users here on the forum that have already used the functionality, but that may just be a rumor. :-)

Awesome, thank you John.  I like Onshape's agility - long may it last!

I sincerely hope that you guys are building in flattening functionality and that function would not be held to ransom by these guys: http://www.exactflat.com/shop/ (ouch)

This SoftWare (see what did there?) does exactly what I am hoping to see in OnShape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbYUaB_IuOs

I am holding my breath...
