KQuigley would you say Solid Edge data migration tools would be more of a migration since it migrates 3D and 2D data. It keeps the 2D and 3D association. The 3D data does not bring over a tree but in the video below it shows using direct editing to modify the model and updating the drawings. Solid ...

Will do Glenn.

Thanks Alex

You will want to right click on the part and go to show and hide component. This will allow you to turn on sketches, planes, curves, etc.

Where this post started and where it is now....I think we took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

bryan5

I wouldn't call it pain. It is nice not to have to lug around the laptop and I can get stuff done with just the phone.

Doing real work on the phone, tablet, laptop and desktop is pretty cool.

To each his own right.

KennyG I use it mainly on my I phone to do quick adjustments on designs while visiting customers like hole/cutout changes, length, width, thickness, add remove radius/chamfers and pockets, etc. I also get to get a jump start on projects on the ride back from the customer visit (when I am not drivin...

I don’t think I said anything was better. I just posted what I have experienced and other cloud software offerings. Sorry if I mislead anyone. You are right Arthur NY what works for you might not work for others. I just was sharing my opinion and experiences. Onshape does work for me. jcapriotti I h...

NX forum gave me this.

Should find out more from my VAR.

Pretty interesting from Siemens.

If it is just for a trial the webpage is a little misleading. It has peaked my interest. I’ll contact my VAR to get some info. I’ll share what they tell me.

Have a great weekend everyone.

bryan5

@jcapriotti The page has it not as a trial (you can try the trial) but another version of NX. Looks like it is on AWS servers like Onshape.

bryan5

Just came across that there is a NX X, which is fully featured cloud version of NX that is compatible with desktop NX.

I have an old computer. I say it is 10 years old but probably older. I have experimented with different options to run CAD on it and here are my results. I tried Fusion 360 personal edition and 9 out of 10 times it locks ups my old rig before the program can open. I tried SolidWorks makers edition. ...

bryan5

It's like the wheel.

bryan5

I guess on the last post I have really gone away from the original post.

bryan5

I agree that Onshape works similar into SolidWorks/ Solid Edge. Where I see the innovations Onshape is doing is the deployment of the software with some hidden gems. - No download of software or updates. Everyone using Onshape is on the same version - Everything is saved automatically, no more worri...

bryan5

I say marketing, because its a general term, but what I wanted to convey is that there is not a strong presence of Solid Edge when compared to the competition. In my opinion, just from my view, some have chosen certain software because that is what they have seen or heard not necessarily chosen beca...

bryan5

One interesting item I noticed. Most (if not all) of the sheet metal icons did not change. The are still the same as SE 2022

bryan5

I downloaded the maker’s edition at home to review the new interface of SE2023 before upgrading at work. My first 2 cents My first takes so far is that the new user interface is different and will take a little time to know where my most used commands are located. I don’t believe it is as much of a ...

bryan5

Maybe it’s just me, but I am noticing that more and more users of SolidWorks are looking at Solid Edge and possibly making the switch. If this is so, why isn’t there more of a marketing push by Solid Edge to make this happen. Maybe it is and I am not seeing it. I have used Solid Edge since version7 ...

On March 23rd 4PM CST/ 5PM EST we will be hosting a Virtual Onshape User Group Meeting, live from Mezco Fabrication, LLC.

Inside an Onshape document open the menu to insert a new part studio. At the top it has import scan. When you select import scan it takes you to the LIDAR scanning environment. 1.jpg Here is a link showing it in the what's new update from 5/16/22. Scroll down to IOS: LIDAR 3D scanning support with a...

If you haven't heard, this year's Onshape Design Competition is to design a vertical spinner and wedge system for the BattleBot Switchback. Here is the link to the Onshape document which has the model of Switchback to work off of. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2551e30987c499717404d975/w/c9e35c5b...

Congrats to Alnis!

bryan5

Solid Edge icons and NX icons are similar now. This would make it easy to adapt when moving from one to the other.

bryan5

I believe it is only GrabCAD workbench that is being removed in June 2023.

bryan5

Using a combination approach allows you to get the best of both. I will agree with @KennyG that synchronous is the best option when working with imported geometry.

bryan5

I had someone looking for an alternative to their current CAD system and they were thinking Solid Edge but were hesitant about the synchronous approach. I did ease their worries by letting them know that you can run Solid Edge in it's original format by switching from synchronous to ordered in the o...

bryan5

I hear you guys. That's why I don't push it.

Discussions like this gives me information to bring up topics like this at future meetings.

Meeting is open to all if you choose to join.

bryan5

If you are ever curious join us. It is open to all. I had a meeting 2 years ago on the security of Onshape servers and had John Rousseau, who oversees this at Onshape, go in depth on it. I was thinking of having a meeting on this topic again since it has been 2 years. Would you be interested in join...

Onshape is not giving away anything. This is my user group meeting and I create a door prize giveaway to give to those who attend as a thank you for joining. I typically create an item with an Onshape theme (since we talk Onshape) designed in Onshape. All the giveaways are on my dime. I even ship it...

There is still time to register: All who attend will be eligible for a door prize giveaway. This meeting we will be giving away a bottle opener made of stainless steel, wood accent, brass rivets and magnets on the back. AlexLachance want to try for this one? Come one! Come all!

Not too many @Cbecks Design, but here is a link to a few. Looks like mainly Trek bikes and Formlabs.

Greg Brown and Jay Tedeschi are excellent presenters. I hope they demonstrate the new functionality on the Perrinn 424 electric Hypercar project they have been collaborating with.

By the way there are more environments and textures you can add by going to the additional resource links.

The best way to learn Onshape is to go through a few of the videos from the learning center area. They were very helpful when I started to learn Onshape. https://learn.onshape.com/ The self paced section on Onshape fundamentals should help. Most of these are avialable to all users including people o...

bryan5

Its a wood burning fire pit. Thank you for the compliment.

bryan5

I started working with Onshape Render Studio. Here is my latest attempt. Still learning. Who else has an Onshape Render to share?

bryan5

I can pass this on to Richard and see who we can get to talk on this.

bryan5

@AlexLachance The giveaway was still just regular Aluminum Knot.

We had some cool presentations.

Maybe we can catch you at the next meeting.
