Likelihood to Recommend Gravotech - TYPE3 Software
If you want a CAD program for jewelry that is easier to use than Matrix, this is it. It has allowed me to have a custom jewelry business. I use it to design all of my custom jewelry jobs. If it can be cast, 3Design Jewelry CAD Software will work for you.

Where Onshape , excels the most is the ability to be operational on any device with internet connection and webbrowser. Onshape doesn't require your hardware to be beefed with Graphic cards (if added better). Where onshape can be better. If they are able to include simulation packages bundled like

The tools make it easy to do many specialized things. It is easy to output STL files. It has easy to use controls. Read full review Cloud-based infrastructure and collaboration is a primary benefit. The available documentation is extremely thorough. The ability to integrate with other software for simulation, renderings, etc. is fantastic. Not having to save and being able to clearly see versions and change history is excellent. Read full review Cons Gravotech - TYPE3 Software
The renderings are terrible. The program bogs down if you are doing something with more than 100 stones. In my opinion, the support is next to nothing unless you pay for it. In my experience, they always hassle you to upgrade. Read full review Dimensioning a hole feature in a drawing when there are multiple holes, the hole count does not parametrically update. For example, when there are 3x of the same hole, Onshape forces you to manually type in 3x instead of parametrically populating the hole count. This gets very dangerous if say, one of the 3x holes changes but you forget to update the 3x to 2x. Other CAD software does provide this. I know Onshape provides guidance on performance considerations and how to structure a project through their literature, however, a dedicated video from Onshape that directly addresses the guidelines on how to minimize file load and reload times would be beneficial to all future and current Onshape users. I think they should incorporate this directly in their training. Poindexter by Design went through the growing pains of this issue but through the Onshape literature and our own experiences we've developed guidelines on how to keep our Onshape performance maximized!

I will be upgrading very soon

Most of the standard designs are now in On Shape and I would like to continue using it. It is easier to run versions to clarify imrovements to the previous designs

In my opinion, if you pay for the support, it is great. Otherwise, I feel like they always say the problem is user error and try to get you to purchase the support.
Read full review Been fairly standard experience with support team. Issues have always been addressed, but is understandably focused on business side applications which typically has different issues than education applications. I have very few IT issues with the design side of the software, my issues are more often with the control of users and access

I might be biased by coming from using three different CAD softwares in the past, so I already understood many modeling concepts, but the training OS offers is really good. Videos are clear, they explain operations in good detail and besides that OS has a really good help system that explains even more how every tool works.

Onshape is revolutionary. Its advantage is that it can be used without having to download it. You are free to work wherever you want. This means that even if you take a vacation or attend a family event, your work will not be interrupted. You can still bring your work and complete it quickly.

3Design Jewelry CAD Software had a class on how to use the program that was close to me. Matrix did not have any classes at all at the time. Matrix is also much more difficult to learn than 3Design Jewelry CAD Software. 3Design Jewelry CAD Software is a little less expensive than Matrix, but more expensive than all of the other programs that aren't as good.

SOLIDWORKS for over four years, and the vault system is time intensive for control of design history, and revision management. I have used Pro-E for over four years, and this has the capability but is not user-friendly. Not needing high-end computers is another great reason to choose Onshape
