Love it, great way to work on my iPad

I had used onshape on a Mac before, I was expecting the app to be a step down, but I think it’s a bit more intuitive and easy to work with. There are a few things that are interesting, but are really easy to do once you figure out how. For example, I could not figure out how to assign dimensions to things in the app, but then I found the dimension button on the sketch toolbar and it was super simple. Navigating the part studio is easier than on a Mac because you don’t have to use the arrow keys. The only thing that is harder is mate connectors in assemblies. I didn’t realize that you had to double select it. The first selection brings up available mate connectors for that area, the second selects which of those connectors you want.

How do I create account and project

How

If only you could actually sign up on your iPhone????

The only option is to join an existing enterprise or to sign in

Sadly it won’t work with older iPad iOS any longer.

I wish they continued legacy support for older iPad iOS versions. My iPad is still 100% usable but on iOS 17.

Ugh

Very hard ti use
