Dude, I feel like I'm late to the game, but this was the most helpful set of videos for someone who signed up with onshape less than 4 hours ago. Thank you!

Amazing series, I learnt so much in such a short time. I love how you made everything so concise but not overwhelming or drawn out. Thank you

[joelevy]

Very helpful; thank you.

Onshape is rapidly becoming a favorite tool in the FIRST Robotics community. Even the rookie kids on my teams are doing good designs with it.

[ynnebbenny]

Love love loved the tutorials. Perfect.
I guess number 6 video could be how to export the files as STL for printing.

These lessons were very helpful. I was able to create a stepdown gear by watching these. The gear worked in a paper shredder! I was amazed and excited to create more. I have found my local library has a 3D printer that can be used free of charge. Great way to spend some retired winter days. Thanks so much.

[edebeer]

Thank you for this. This tutorial is perfect for newbies to Onshape.

[peterrobinson]

Awesome introduction. I was overwhelmed when I first signed up, but your tutorials made it so easy. Thank you!!

[ThomasPalowitchSr]

What a great introductory learning series. It covered the necessary steps to get up and running plus many other salient features. Just wish you would continue with making more videos. They helped me immensely. Thank you

[anthonyleppert]

Thank you. I typically jump in to most apps and pick up on them pretty quickly. Such as the Adobe suite, illustrator, photoshop. I had a very hard time making since of anything at first. But you took that all away and I became comfortable really quick. Excellent video. I've wanted to learn cad forever but it was so very difficult before. I really appreciate Onshape for free version to get started.

[DavidMarshall-sd]

A really helpful introduction. Demonstrations were clear, well-paced for beginners and helped me become confident in the use of On-shape.

[hazetrinity]

[alexrobinson]

@CADSessions thank you so much. These 5 tutorials were so helpful and are a great start to anyone who is brand new to onshape

[elijahlibby]

Thanks man. These videos have really helped me in CAD class, and inspired me to explore CAD beyond the school taught curriculum.

[davidmurphy]

Many thanks for this series - you have paced it just right and have made it easy to follow, certainly easier than many other guides I have watched in my attempt to move from 2D LibreCAD to OnShape. Looking forward to seeing your other guides.
