A man in Atlanta was recently killed because he was inside a tent as a front end loader ran over him while the city was clearing the encampment which was in a parking lot near MLK's church. They were clearing because of expected crowds on MLK day.
I'd have to say that for someone looking for AutoDesk level tools, OnShape just is not gonna cut it. It's fine for hobbyist stuff, but is far from great.
I am going to be completely frank here. It is horrible. I am speaking from the standpoint of someone that uses CAD/CAM professionally. I have tried to get a lot of software running in WINE etc. to mostly small margins of success.
If someone needs Autodesk stuff and they don't want it to crash constantly, they're going to need to run a VM at least, and a Windows install is just going to work better.
I run Windows on a machine that is attached to no network because I have to for work. All of the FOSS CAD tools are crashy garbage if you need functionality beyond simple stuff like 3D printing.
It just isn't there. OP, if you read this, please take my professional advice and either dual boot or run a Windows VM.
It seems to be there. The admins need a lot of poking to wake up.
Looking again, I was on the wrong board. I don't have the time to help with posting to the BBS right now because if you are not familiar, it can be daunting.
I think you've missed my point here. Something that is 6,300 mm long should be listed as 6.3 meters. Doing otherwise completely eliminates the purpose of a pure decimal system. People don't even use the system properly, completely omitting things like decimeters.
I've been a machinist for over 20 years. Just no. You get specs from the customer, and yeah the tolerances are usually in mm. However, listing dimensions in thousands of mm makes no sense. The tolerances are always specified. If it wasn't for NDA, I could show you a print from Siemens Medical that shows this.
I have to say that I do this professionally. There is no reason at all to specify tolerances like that. You very much should use at least centimeters with the +/- in decimals. This is the whole point of the metric system. And it aggravates me. We are not stupid as manufacturers. It is very simple division. I am American and have to deal with German and Japanese tolerances quite literally every day. Sure, there are different required ISO tolerances based on millimeters, but as far as prints go? Every company usually specifies their own tolerances. Complying with ISO mostly means that you understand what they require overall. It is my professional opinion that not using the breadth of the metric system is absolutely absurd.
I still use my original xbox that runs xbmc (from when xbmc was still just a linux distro for xbox) as my media server. It works fantasically with plenty of storage.
You're right. I think that Lemmy was, at most, an afterthought. We've had to wake up the admins to the fact that there is a substantial number of people here and that their easy sign up policies here can easily be abused.
The Tesseract front end is just completely superior for moderation imo. It took me a little bit of getting used to, but it is clean
