Working with OnShape is a great experience. The client can use fluid ,not something I could say about Solidworks or AutoCAD. It is completely included and not stressing over records, utilizing the built-in cloud integration is extraordinary. I would not spare a moment to prescribe OnShape to anybody keen on getting CAD or even little CAD shops.

Performance of Onshape Across Market Features

Onshape Likes & Dislikes

- easy to use with friendly UI. - using it with cloud makes every thing very good no need to use high GPU only in browser. - very good and interactive community, helping in all issues that facing me.

No need for hardware for servers, easy to use once you learn it, amazing data management.

Onshape allows us to develop product very smoothly eradicating the problems which were present in traditional file management systems. It has great multi body part environment . It has very quick support response.

- I was face some issues but community support have helped work around these situations. - need to improve that output DXFs - improving performance of offline files.

Takes some time to learn to use, occasional crashes and performance glitches, unpractical to use on large scale projects.

No cons as of now
