Re: How to approach modeling a complex shape
@roger_smetaniuk They still make it: https://structure.io/structure-sensor-pro I have a really old version and need to update it. For the cost, it works well. Does it work with Onshape? Yep, I've been using it ever since Onshape has supported meshes and Onshape has it working well. How do you get started? Follow every… -
Re: Document Size, Complexity and Performance
I'll take a stab at addressing some of the questions here and hope my colleagues would add their thoughts. Our ultimate goal is that users would have a good modeling experience without ever having to think of the details I'm about to share, but we are not there yet. 1. @3dcad Normally size of document history would not… -
Re: Internet performance and Onshape
@malcolm_smith334 - This is a great question. Here is the Cliff-Notes version of the answer. Onshape is a 100% cloud based solution.

Re: How to properly use imported FeatureScript in my own FeatureScript

Re: Part Identity & Design Workflows
Very interesting discussion. This is where I have had to try and approach using OS for my initial design layouts very differently from SW and it's taken quite bit to get my head around the best way to design. Hopefully there will be a few more tools features in the future to make this easier and quicker. Normally I jump in… -

Re: Onshape vs. Fusion360
It's nice to hear from users that have lived in both systems long enough to make educated observations. It's interesting. My manager is anti-Onshape still, and he has read these articles from "random guy on the internet 31" and he is convinced Fusion is the better tool and Onshape is still for hobbiests. (Even though he… -
Re: Execute FeatureScript using API and Python
@mark_noyes First of all, thank you for the detailed response. It will take me some time to go over everything but I did not want to wait to ask about the issue you brought up. I have built a FeatureScript that reads data from a .CSV file to generate sketches and loft these as faces. The code does not require any…
