Why Do Engineering Teams Choose Onshape PDM?
Onshape's PDM is built into its cloud-native CAD platform, serving as a foundation for all design workflows. By eliminating PDM vaults, and check-in/check-out processes, teams manage product data in one system, and access the latest design information in real time.
With full audit history, branching and merging, and release management workflows, your product development team can iterate confidently, knowing everyone is working from a single source of truth and design work moves forward without delays or rework.
Wichtigste Funktionen
Automatic Document History Capture
Onshape eliminates file chaos by centralizing all CAD data including assemblies, parts, and BOMs into a single, secure document. With built-in PDM, Onshape automatically captures every edit in real time, allowing users to instantly compare versions and restore to any previous design state. With an inherently stable cloud-native platform, Onshape never crashes, and users never lose any data.

Branching, Merging, and Comparing CAD Data
Accelerate innovation with agile product development. Onshape’s unique branching and merging capability allows multiple engineering teams to work on the same design at the same time - conflict free. Teams can explore and compare ideas in independent workspaces (branches) and then selectively merge workspaces into the main design avoiding serial and blocking workflows.
Search and Traceability of Parts
Gain complete visibility into your design dependencies. Onshape’s where used capability allows for a quick search and impact analysis of a design change to a given part. Onshape goes further by allowing searching by metadata like materials, vendors or description - to find exactly the right part without having to remember part numbers.

Built-in Release Management
Deploy sophisticated, customizable review and approval workflows in just a few steps. Build release packages including parts, assemblies and drawings. Leverage Onshape publications to secure IP, and share approved packages with access controls for external collaboration.

Always up-to-date BOMs
Eliminate costly procurement and assembly errors with a single source of truth. Onshape synchronizes BOM and Assembly environments so that design changes are instantly reflected in the bill of materials and vice versa.

Flexibility of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Connection
Bridge the gap between engineering and operations. By using Onshape API to integrate other cloud-native tools such as Arena, engineering teams can align design, manufacturing, and supply chain partners, reducing process chaos.

Whenever I describe Onshape to anybody, I always say, ‘It's like the Google Docs of CAD,’ and they're instantly like, ‘Oh, that makes so much sense. Why haven't they (the CAD industry) done that already?’ ’’
