Onshape 3D CAD

The whole program has improved a lot on the last years. It has all of the features necessary for professional 3D modeling. However, I want to see a better UI for the mobile devices

Actually I’m quite impressed the app works as well as it does on iPad. Was expecting a half baked port. So far it’s doing everything I’d expect a full PC program to do.

This app has some advanced features, and good intentions, but they are overshadowed by its (many) shortcomings. I thought that it would be the best thing to be released in the world of engineering, since Fusion360 doesn’t even allow editing of your files, and the web version of OnShape seems functional enough, but this app is atrocious. The scale of your objects being drawn isn’t indicated ANYWHERE until after the shapes have been drawn, and then you have no ability to edit those numbers, other than to go back and re-draft the same shape on another guess. Then, when you might think, “well I know code, so I’ll familiarize myself with the scripting feature, and build that capability into this, myself…” (which SHOULDN’T be the answer for a PREMIUM program, but that’s where we are, atm) except you can’t see what templates exist, because the list won’t even allow you to scroll the options to find a good starting point. It’s (like many other things) just there for decoration, apparently. I could cite 50 more examples of half baked, ridiculous “features” that should NOT be behaving this bizarrely in a professional grade application, but I think those two glaring omissions should give an idea of the amateur hour application that this is. To say it needs more work would be a colossal understatement, and the fact that they have the gall to ask for such a monumental amount of capital invested for a subscription to this buggy mess of a program is insulting to the engineering community. In summary, this app belongs in the trash, until they can get their act together, and produce a stable app that’s capable of doing the things that an engineer needs it to do, like (the expected) CAD, CAM, Simulation, and make the user’s job easier, rather than harder. Thanks.

There is an error preventing me from activating my account and this product is positively unusable if a user cannot create a login.

While this app does not include all features of the desktop version of Onshape, it is great to be able to access my models to make minor changes and view measurements on the go. I look forward to continual improvements in the app.

Works great, but I did have a few problems with the hole feature, but it was my fault, this is definitely my go to for making simple or complex things!

Best mobile CAD system out there!

The paid version auto renews every year and requires 30 days advance notice. This is stipulated on page 9 section 6 of their contract.

I have used the web version extensively, and the I pad app works not quite as good, but definitely usable even for complex actions. Easy to navigate, quick to pick up. My skills from the web version transferred over quickly and well. Graphics are just as good. Using a touch screen to pan/zoom is way better than scrolling on desktop. I think I would want access to the web version on a computer just in case, but a great option
