Great CAD software for Mac
What do you like best about the product?
For most things it is comparible to Solidworks or Inventor, but with the benefit of automatic saving, easy sharing, and access from any platform including Apple and Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Large models can load slowly sometimes, depending on the quality of the internet connection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape is helping us work colaboratively as a team, where everyone can work together on the same design at the same time, or work independently and easily merge changes using git style version control.
Great CAD tool in the cloud!
What do you like best about the product?
It is online, always up to date (no version issues), completely back tracable and has built in PDM. I can use it on any platform (phone, tablet, laptop, PC) and it does not require a CAD computer. Easy to log in from practically anything with a browser. I never had it crash.
I like the features a lot. Expecially the custom features can be real time savers!
Version control is very good, branching a part into a different part to test a different idea is really easy and straight forward. Do you like it? Merge it into the main. Is it a dead end, close it off and continue with the main branch. GitHub like version management.
Surfacing is very good, but I still need to train myself even more in it. Good training video's and training tutorials available.
I have used onshape daily for about 2 years.
Easy to give other people read access, read write access, and be able to take it away when necessary. You OWN your data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Large assemblies, for example STEP files, can take quite some time to import
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of CAD data and version control with Git-type versioning is really powerfull and usefull.
Onshape allows me to work much more efficently.

It's faster, use less time to make a 3D design.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the time to create a design is considerably reduced. By around 30%.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe it still lacks some functions, but every 3 weeks they are incorporating functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design speed leaves me more time for other tasks.

Onshape: SaaS CAD | The Future of CAD, available TODAY
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is a full feature MCAD program, always updated, always available, no maintenance, no drama. Excellent to use. Features are being added all the time, but it's already full featured and a real pleasure to use. Designing in context of an assembly, capturing design intent with top-down part studios, without worrying about blow-ups or clunky workflows!
It's all done in the browser on your desktop, or if you want you can install an app on your phone or slate. It's also free BTW! But you need to play for a licence if you want your work to be confidential.
Also, easy to design and evaluate alternative ideas and review/roll-back with software development type tools, Git-like. fork a design and add branches for different ideas as required. Really easy to collaborate with fine grained access control. Allows comments at various places from collaborators too, so no need for lengthy emails and embedded screen shots.
If the legacy MCAD people were thinking about a new CAD system, without worrying about what has been; this would be their common thought-destination. And now with PTC/Creo/Windchill IP and client base, it can only get stronger.
Installing a desktop application and maintaining it with various service packs, what a needless kafuffle!?

What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot to dislike about Onshape. Sometimes the internet is down, rare to be honest, and you can always mitigate that with mobile data as required -- there is not a massive amount of data going back and forth. Sometimes I have dark imaginings of storing data in the cloud but have been much more relaxed about that since around 2002, with salesforce.com implementation!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Onshape for MCAD, generating assemblies, parts and drawings. It's great for all of the above. In particular, the part studio concept is brilliant for capturing design intent. Robust assemblies without assembling a load of bits and bobs with bottom-up and messing around with the fits. Easy to maintain. Just works like it should. And when you do assemble parts, 6 degrees of freedom solved in one interaction, or movement resolved and constrained to real life in a trice.
The Git-like branches and forks are also easy to use. You can make a complete copy of a design to try out new idea, or use branches to experiment with what-if scenarios and switch them on or off.
For me, the part studio concept is a terrific way of capturing design intent, where the necessary inter-related parts are all designed in the same space. Small or large changes can be enacted very quickly without much fuss. Much easier than changing different parts in a bottom-up assembly or figuring out what parameters do what in a driven design, sometimes a chore to figure out even if you did all the work yourself last month.

Good when designing but needs some more focus on long term approach.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how intuitive some of the tools are when creating parts and drawings. When I first started it didn't take long to get up and going.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to design multiple parts in one part studio is easily abused by engineers especially when in a rush. Too many parts are created in one part studio and there is no easy way to unlinked them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy for team collaboration and data storing.
An engineer-centric CAD system
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape surfacing tools are great, especially the delete and heal face function. The move face function is also simple and robust.
The fact that I don't need an expensive workstation is also big bonus.

What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit to get used to the mating methodology, as it's markedly different from other CAD packages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Owning our own designs, interfacing with our vendors.
Simply the best
What do you like best about the product?
The easiest 3D modeling software there is. Access files from anywhere. Share files safely. No installation needed. Automatic upgrades.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing a few features. 3rd party apps are intgrated but don't always work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With other software, accessing old files can be difficult do to upgrades. I have not had this problem with onShape. Old files are updated seamlisily.

Would love to have CAM software integrated into it. I know it's on its way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick 3D Modelling. I always have limited time.
