I’d have to say that for someone looking for AutoDesk level tools, OnShape just is not gonna cut it. It’s fine for hobbyist stuff, but is far from great.

I am going to be completely frank here. It is horrible. I am speaking from the standpoint of someone that uses CAD/CAM professionally. I have tried to get a lot of software running in WINE etc. to mostly small margins of success.
If someone needs Autodesk stuff and they don’t want it to crash constantly, they’re going to need to run a VM at least, and a Windows install is just going to work better.
I run Windows on a machine that is attached to no network because I have to for work. All of the FOSS CAD tools are crashy garbage if you need functionality beyond simple stuff like 3D printing.
It just isn’t there. OP, if you read this, please take my professional advice and either dual boot or run a Windows VM.
You won’t be able to from a lemmy.world account like that.
I guess that’s my whole issue here. People don’t use the system “properly.”
I think you’ve missed my point here. Something that is 6,300 mm long should be listed as 6.3 meters. Doing otherwise completely eliminates the purpose of a pure decimal system. People don’t even use the system properly, completely omitting things like decimeters.
I have to say that this is the first split design that I’d use. I have no clue how anyone would willingly go without a numpad. This also looks great.
Yeah. I was just making a stupid joke.
3G? This is what I think of:
I’ve been a machinist for over 20 years. Just no. You get specs from the customer, and yeah the tolerances are usually in mm. However, listing dimensions in thousands of mm makes no sense. The tolerances are always specified. If it wasn’t for NDA, I could show you a print from Siemens Medical that shows this.
I can’t attest to that. I am more than fine with 1080p.
I have to say that I do this professionally. There is no reason at all to specify tolerances like that. You very much should use at least centimeters with the +/- in decimals. This is the whole point of the metric system. And it aggravates me. We are not stupid as manufacturers. It is very simple division. I am American and have to deal with German and Japanese tolerances quite literally every day. Sure, there are different required ISO tolerances based on millimeters, but as far as prints go? Every company usually specifies their own tolerances. Complying with ISO mostly means that you understand what they require overall. It is my professional opinion that not using the breadth of the metric system is absolutely absurd.
I still use my original xbox that runs xbmc (from when xbmc was still just a linux distro for xbox) as my media server. It works fantasically with plenty of storage.
I see millimeters listed by the thousands and hundreds all the time. It really annoys me.
Don’t worry. The troll is competent and the org doesn’t have the bandwidth to deal with this. To all that may see this: defederation should be on the table
Yeah, in this case it was a woman posting a picture of her shiba inu that lead to the downfall if the US government.
That’s just tangentially related.
Yep. Can confirm. I did update the post with a screenshot of the modlog.
Not even a reply to anything on Mastodon or e-mails. I think I may nuke this account and all of the content in protest.
