CAD Done Right
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Onshape is their approach to content creation. It is a tool designed to capture design intent. I came from a SolidWorks background which I really enjoyed using, but when I started contracting my work I needed a CAD solution that was a better fit for a one man operation. I started my trial trying to use it like Solidworks and quickly found that Onshape had a different approach. After I finished the beginner tutorials I quickly realized what they had done to the design process. After I used it as intended I saw the light and really liked they way they create content compared to how I used to do it in Solidworks and other programs.
Configurations are done exactly as they should be both on the part level and assembly level. No endless tables of permutations, just the things you want to change.
Another huge plus is the PDM system in Onshape is absolutely amazing and simple to use. Since it operates in the cloud there is no server maintenance, server connectivity issues, or install issues.
Onshape has also shown me how awesome it is to never have to save. All changes are documented and having the ability to version and go back in time to what was done is something that nobody else does.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since Onshape is always releasing updates every ~3 weeks it is always improving. That being said the dislike pile gets shorter with time, but until the issues are addressed we make do until those requests get answered. I have documented my complaints with Onshape and they are all improvement requests at this time. My biggest dislike is that the drawings in Onshape are a little behind the rest of the offerings I feel.
Chamfers have to be manually entered, which breaks the parametric relationship if you change the chamfer size.
Broken views are broken. Once you break a view it no longer aligns to the related view. Annoying but usable. Section views also cannot be broken, so if it doesn't fit on the page then you have to shrink it or make a bigger drawing.
There isn't a devoted weldment tool, however there is a feature script that works pretty good, but it can be cumbersome if you are generating new profiles and can turn into trouble shooting code in the script if you make a mistake. A devoted weldment tool with the Onshape touch would be great when they get to it.
A center of mass icon for assemblies and parts is really important for a lot of designs. It seems like CM it is already in Onshape but isn't able to be used for design purposes.
Section properties would be very useful but as of now do not exist.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storage of content is not an issue anymore. I don't have to carry around my customers data and hope it doesn't get lost or damaged.
Sharing content is super easy now and customers really like that they can view their content from a link and export if needed. They do not need a seperate tool installed just to view the files.
Release management in Onshape has really helped with the design flow with my customers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like any program it is a tool, and if you want to get the full capabilities of this program everyone using it should go through all the training and practice creating content. If you teach yourself how then you will see many benefits.
Seamless between groups
What do you like best about the product?
Once parts were designed and drawn the shop would still ask questions on the dimensions that they wanted. Once we trained a few of them how to use the light user measure tool 99% of the daily quick questions stopped! The shop personal also loved being empowered to be part of reviews and "follow me" mode when there was a touch question or issue. We have also implimented offical releases and this has helped eliminate almost all scrap from outdated / updated prints.
What do you dislike about the product?
Double edged sword: I love that you can request a change and the program is frequently updated, but some of the "low hanging fruit" for requested changes do not always get implemented right away. This to me is more "first world problem" as there has never been a direct link to submit feedback to the development team before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mass distrubution to external parties of both CAD and non-CAD users. Also the revision control and distribution of designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and get familiar with the PDM and version management. Our tipping point between CAD solutions was based on asking, " What CAD functionality do I really need and what functions can I get by without." The heavier weight on distribution and PDM with all the required CAD features lead us to OnShape. Granted the CAD side is not as well developed as competitors, but they are younger, faster at developing, and creating a better implementation of every feature when they do implement it.

Go for it
take the challenge
What do you like best about the product?
First • Do not think about having the right copy. Second • Having an idea, it is saved and seen by the team on the fly. Third • Really a fair pricing, which is scalable in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss a simple viewer, which can be booked by days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having the change as a small company to compete with state of the art CAD System and other services like FEM, BoM, Rendering, 3D-Printing, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of use and a simple but strong soft structure to get the ideas into sketches into drawings.
OnShape has the same way of thinking as me.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to start. Good tutorials. Responding support. Good and pleasant environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the web technology but I do not know all features and possibilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create 3d models for 3D prints. The main benefit for me is I have a real materialized part within one hour after I get an idea. I develop and design prototypes of mechanic devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use. Logical and predictable functions and features. Web technology accessible from anywhere on any computer
We should adopt Onshape system-wide
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud based software, requires only a decent graphics card for superb performance.

What do you dislike about the product?
Gotta be on wifi.
The better your wifi, the better the response time.
Saying that, I can even login from Colombia and get stuff done.

Anyone from novice to pro can produce professional results with ease.
What do you like best about the product?
Good help support and plenty of training videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do have to make a little effort to keep my work and my process organized but I can't imagine how Onshape could make that easier for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to go from a software and field service company to adding manufacturing to our resume without any formal training in CAD or the need for CAD to be the single focus of even one employee.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out before you buy. Watch some of the helpful training videos. Nothing else is needed. It sells itself.
Onshape finally an intelligent modeling program!
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is really great, you can access the "software" from any computer with internet. You can also smoothly open your 3D on your iPad or your phone! I also find that I am faster in my modeling. The software is very smart and it is easy to change a dimension, your 3D adapts. The assemblies are also very easy thanks to the Fastened mates, with one click you can connect parts together. Onshape offers updates quite often and brings improvements which is very motivating. The graphics are also very well done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, maybe an improvement of the exploded view for technical drawings. Also more flexibility for the BOM.

Travailler avec une équipe. Partager des fichiers est génial. Travailler plus rapidement aussi. Partager également des fichiers CAO avec le client ou le fabricant est une grande amélioration (ils peuvent l'ouvrir facilement - pas besoin de télécharger un logiciel).
