Gottem!
Just another reason NX is superior. Meet Ergo-Gowron!
Yeah and their image tracing feature can be absolute hot garbage from my experience.

Join me on the dark side, Onshape opens assemblies and doesn’t crash…
Do you know of any open source alternatives and how they fare against the industry standard ones?

I know of no open source 3D parametric modellers. Considering how buggy most industry standard CAD packages are, I’d be suspect of an open source one.

Tell me more about this Onshape… Is it comparable to solid works?
It was developed by the same people that originally developed SolidWorks. So, yeah. Full parametric 3D design, but it’s fully cloud based. So no more needing a workstation, you can do it via any browser. I’ve done it on my Chromebook (slowly). It’s also designed with top-down design in mind (no more dangling internal references), and is NOT file-based, it is its own PDM system.
It’s annual cost is not much more than the maintenance cost on SolidWorks. Check it out, I’ve fully switched over, personally and professionally.
Appreciate the update. I might recommend this to my company. Solid works is so expensive. Ive used it a lot. And frankly its overpriced.
