PTC Onshape is Easy-to-use, continuously updated, online CAD platform
What is Onshape? Founded in 2012, Onshape was acquired by PTC in November 2019. Onshape is a cutting edge- cloud based SAAS (Software as a Service) design platform. It is another step-change in CAD - no files, no version control issues, no updates/patches/installs, no heavy compute power needed! Onshape is an all-in-one system that combines CAD, release management, workflow, collaboration, analytics, admin tools, and an API with more than 50 engineering applications. This cloud based software enables a new paradigm in product development - one that is very exciting and will rely on distributed engineers working from anywhere (an office, at home, on the beach, etc.).

Branching and merging models are way better. Easy to iterate. Sharing models with outside stakeholders is just like Google drive. Easy on the eyes ...
