Talk:Onshape

Is Advertising Tag still warranted?

In reaction to the addition of the Advertising tag, I reworded a handful of sentences that to me had the feeling that they were from a product datasheet.

For example, I changed the opening sentence from "Onshape is a full-featured, cloud-based 3D CAD software system" to "Onshape is a professional-caliber 3D CAD software system delivered over the Internet via a Software as a Service (SAAS) model."

I believe I have expunged the promotional copywriter vibe from it. Can others review and either suggest further edits, or – if you feel the promotional vibe has been eliminated – can you delete the Advertising tag? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skydog10291971 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Feb 7: I intend to remove Advertising Tag from article

Recent edits have stripped most of the information about Onshape and the CAD market it competes in. What remains now is a generic description of its uniqueness as a cloud-based CAD system, a factual history of the company, and a statement of its funding.

I feel that the Advertising Tag is unquestionably no longer warranted, but as the original author of the page, will not do this unilaterally without feedback from other editors. I plan to remove the tag after a few weeks as no longer apropos. If others feels that this move on my part would be a mistake, either correct the entry, or let me know why – based on the content of the entry – why this would be a mistake. In other words, saying "You can't do it because you're the original author" doesn't strike me as a valid reason not to; I am simply interested in the entry being accurate – and as such, more motivated than other editors to assure that the article is not corrupted by out-of-date tags.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Skydog10291971 (talk • contribs) 2017-02-07T16:42:14 (UTC)

Operating systems in infobox

The list of operating systems in the infobox is misleading. Onshape does not run on Linux, OSX, or Windows. Onshape runs in a browser on any operating system with WebGL, including those. It also runs as a native application on iOS and Android. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 13:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Is the MKCad line too much?

I'm unsure if the line about FRC and Mkcad is relevant, Onshape is very clearly not exclusive to FRC, and has been popular for a long time before 2025(mkcad was relased in 2017), and Onshape is focused to be a enterprise CAD suite, with many larger brands, such as Formlabs using it Itsjupiter21 (talk) 22:25, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
