In today's show, we meet with Bruce Bartlett, a longtime Onshape customer from Australia as we discuss the early days of Onshape.  We also have the privilege of rolling out Frames with a discussion of what makes it different from other frame design and weldment tools that are available in the CAD market today.  Joining us for this discussion are Joshua Newth and Jake Rosenfeld, who were part of the team to deliver this important new functionality.  And just because we can, we dive into some of the latest new Onshape functions from release 1.144!
