CAD Forum

I will be hosting an Onshape user group meeting on June 28th 5PM CDT.

The topic.....Non-traditional ways of using Onshape.

Onshape is a mechanical CAD software but are people using features and Onshape itself in ways that the software wasn't intended to do????but it can!

We will have unique items such as a Wordle game that was created by expert Onshape user Chad Stoltzfus:

This and more will be talked about and discussed. Come one, Come all. The meeting is open to all CAD users and it's Virtual:

The Non-traditional Onshape Use User Group Meeting will be held on June 28th 5PM CDT.

There will be great presentations from Onshape wizards John McClary Chad Stoltzfus Samuel Holland and Mmatthew Mueller on using Onshape in ways you might not have thought was possible....or just never have thought of.

And as always those who attend will be eligible for an Onshape themed door prize drawing giveaway. You could be a winner like last meeting winner @AlexLachance!

Let's make this a great meeting! If you have registered already, I encourage you to invite a friend to join us.

Come one, Come all.....and bring a friend!

I'll try being there. Have to keep our mind open, seeing how well SolidWorks seems to be going lol

Hopefully you can make it. Bring a friend.

The door prize drawing will be for an Aluminum Puzzle Knot.

All who attend are eligible.

Maybe something more challenging?

I've invited some collegues, don't know if they'll be a show.

You the man @AlexLachance

@zxys001 would you like to model the Gordian Knot in Onshape and show it at the user group meeting?

You mean, the extrude profiles? Sure, but will they machine them for the winner?
Hmm, it looks like the free license is no longer available?

Depending on thickness and material type I just might?

Onshape Free is still available. I use it for hobby work at home.

https://www.onshape.com/en/products/free. Go to the site and his the start button to sign up. I think a lot of people hit the request the trial button instead of the start button.

A snippet of what will be shown at the user group meeting:

Thank you to all who attended the meeting and to those who presented.

Geez, my bad Bryan... I don't know why but I didn't get the notification I had set on my phone for it, so I forgot about the whole thing...

Did you end up doing the version of the gordian knot that Paul posted?

Thanks, cool to see and Onshape continues to impress.

@AlexLachance The giveaway was still just regular Aluminum Knot.

We had some cool presentations.

Maybe we can catch you at the next meeting.

@bryan5 It would be nice to see a session on the more advanced document management PDM style functions. Like how would change orders work?

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