OnShape: new web-based 3D modeling software

[truly_bent]

Solidworks is my primary design software, so this looks to me like "Solidworks Lite". It has some enhancements however that look really interesting. Primarily, the ability to collaborate on designs simultaneously with others, is a big plus. This is how a team, made up of individuals working from home, can easily work together. I expect to see more of this type of collaborative software moving into mainstream use in the future.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but leaving all my design files in the cloud makes me a tad uneasy. However, from what i saw on the videos, these design files can be downloaded, which would make me more comfortable - at least until i gained trust in the system.

Edit: Signed up for the Beta invite and have be given an account. Have to check this out.
