Onshape Roadmap

felipe_4

Hello, Is there a Roadmap on regard of features like sheetmetal? or tools like loft?

Thank you

We have no public road map and likely isn't something we are going to publish.  We run an agile process and much of the prioritization depends on what you, the customer, requests.  This results in sometimes changing the current top priorities which would throw off our road map.  Similarly, we only release functionality when we deem it is ready for end users and sometimes hold functionality for extra work on them.  A road map, in all likely, would be inaccurate.

OnShape updates are like christmas, you may not get what you wish for but if you keep your mind open there is always pretty cool stuff to play with.. And it's more than once a year

I wonder that as well with FeatureScript I begin to worry if my FS resolves a problem that will be fixed anyway in the next few moths???
I used to Solidworks and they never did what I did , with Macros and Add-ons, for the company I own even I'm pretty sure every Equipment manufacturer in the world would love to have those solutions.

Unlike other cad companies, with Onshape you can use feedback in your cad menu and ask if they have planned the stuff you need - you will get professional answer rather than some secretary telling you how much they value your input but never answer your question.

More than once a month so far, and service packs are a thing of the past (never felt Christmas having to add one those).

Appears that the roadmap (not the overall vision for the product) will be decided by the requests coming in and is continually flexible and likely to change based on customer demands, having a published roadmap could lead to customer disappoint as plans change. So if you need something add your voice to the list of improvements, hopefully with a robust list the cream will raise to the top and we get the most important things in first. 

Last time I checked sheetmetal was on the top of the list so expect to see it soon however it's no going to be the easiest thing to add, as I imagine there are a lot of thing to consider with it.
