    Tell me more about this Onshape… Is it comparable to solid works?

      It was developed by the same people that originally developed SolidWorks. So, yeah. Full parametric 3D design, but it’s fully cloud based. So no more needing a workstation, you can do it via any browser. I’ve done it on my Chromebook (slowly). It’s also designed with top-down design in mind (no more dangling internal references), and is NOT file-based, it is its own PDM system.

      It’s annual cost is not much more than the maintenance cost on SolidWorks. Check it out, I’ve fully switched over, personally and professionally.

        Appreciate the update. I might recommend this to my company. Solid works is so expensive. Ive used it a lot. And frankly its overpriced.
