MCMASTER 2 ONSHAPE

I have this app to transfer data between mcmaster and onshape: https://goatheads.circuitcase.com/
It sets everything in my company's properties. Some of these are computed and special to our needs. BOM Example here. Since these are custom, I am not sure how much data makes it through if you link or copy the model?
There is a json tab which should be pretty easy to make a featurescript and format the data as you wish. There is probably too much data there right now.
Please make a copy of any documents you want to use in production for right now! I may may make changes to my data.
Let me know what you think!

Hi Bill,
I am interested in your post, currently considering OnShape move from Solidworks. The video you share is private, and the link you provided is not active anymore.
Would you be so nice to share those with me?
Thank you!
Hi Nicolas,
MMC killed my API license. I was not supposed to share it.😫
How does the SW MMC add on work? I was never able to get it working. Does it fill out the properties?
Goatheads filled out the properties in a consistant manner. You could then add dynamics and material properties to the model once. You could then reuse it ten years later. Goatheads stick with you!
