Reusing a sketch or modeled object from a different file is problematic. It would be extremely helpful to be able to reuse select sketches or bodies previously modeled in other Shapr3D files. For instance, it would save quite a bit of time if I have already modeled a caster or hinge that I need to…

The copy and paste from one project to another would be a great command to have and would really speed up the projects. But in conjunction with that I really think that a Assembly option needs to be added to Shapr3D to get the full use out of it.

This would be super helpful. Especially when working off one file, ie. an assembly and only needing to import other parts into another file. VS the current configuration where you have to go to that other assembly (with the new update wait 5min to load), select the parts specific (hope you get all o…

This has been requested and ignored for years. At the moment, I isolate parts and export them as x_t files so I can easily import them into other projects. It’s a good workaround. I have folders of simple parts that I reuse, like hinges etc. The main problem I have is that it removes all the mater…

We’ve been asking for years. I suggested a folder that is permanent to every project to transport commonly used stuff easily. It should be somewhat limited in size so as not to drag project down. Just drop it into the folder on the items bar. Open the next project and there it is in the folder in th…

Wow. I’m a little shocked to search for how to do this, and find that there isn’t a way. That feels crazy, given some of the features Shapr3D does have. Add me to this request.

Checking it just to say I’ve been waiting for this for 2 years now. Let me know when it works. Just like simply aligning to the axis and threads. Tnx.

Can’t believe this isn’t a feature yet… really living in the dark ages with this missing

This has been such a hassle, I end up with files saved on usb then open and save them back to cloud. I’ve been seriously looking at other programs just because this is one of the most simple tasts in every program out there. I hope they can get this soon. My subscription is running out the middle of…
