After operating for almost two years, Ondsel has made the difficult decision to cease operations and close down. We are forever grateful for the support we've received from the community! Here is what's going to happen next ondsel.com/blog/goodbye/

While we have your attention, take a look at AstoCAD, a soft fork of @FreeCADNews. It's a new project by Ondsel's former employee @pierrelouisboy who developed the Assembly workbench and improved Sketcher and TechDraw youtube.com/watch?v=X_voRRg1… Website: astocad.com/

While Ondsel is no more, the development of Lens, the PDM system we developed, may live on under the FreeCAD umbrella. In fact, you can now apply for a grant to help develop it blog.freecad.org/2025/02/14/…

What are some of the off-the-shelf components you use in your assemblies and other projects the most, apart from nuts and bolts? And what ones are really desirable and yet the most difficult to find as e.g. STEP files?

You can make your own Ondsel ES defaults and revert to them anywhere. Just back them up on Lens and then restore on a new computer. Or you could roll out the same prefs to an entire team when they are members of an organization on Lens ondsel.com/blog/backup-resto…
