CAD Challenges App

Hey educators! You may have seen this post yesterday about our new CAD Challenges app. I just wanted to highlight the app specifically for this community. We hope it will be usefull as a fun way for students to practice their modeling skills. What @ian_d_gardiner calls "CAD calisthenics." Specifically, the app challenges you to carefully read drawings, understand section and auxilary views, and interpret dimensions. These are important skills on the Certified Onshape Associate exam. We hope you find it useful!

It'd be great if the units matched the user's preferences - over in the UK and the rest of Europe we are metric.
Also, it would be good to be able to reverse engineer the design of the reference part - it comes in as a derived part without features to roll-back through.

I’ve used the CAD Challenges app, and it’s a great way to practice reading drawings and understanding views. It’s fun and super helpful for exam prep!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
The CAD Challenges app has been an invaluable tool in my studies. It made learning how to read technical drawings and understand different views both fun and interactive. The app’s challenges closely mimic real exam scenarios, making it the perfect preparation tool. Thanks to its engaging format, I improved my skills significantly and saw a huge boost in my exam scores. I highly recommend it to anyone aiming for high grades in technical subjects!
Great Work! I think it's a great initiative, especially for students.
This CAD Challenges app sounds like an amazing resource for students to build and refine their 3D modeling and design skills! Practicing with section views, auxiliary views, and dimension interpretation not only strengthens technical proficiency but also prepares students for certifications like the Certified Onshape Associate exam. A great way to make learning CAD engaging and interactive—perfect for developing real-world design expertise!
The CAD Challenges app sounds like a fantastic tool for anyone looking to improve their design skills! It's great to see an app that focuses on challenges to enhance creativity and precision
Really excited about the potential of the CAD Challenges App! It’s a great way to push your design skills further while staying engaged with the CAD community. Looking forward to seeing more creative challenges and innovations from this app!
