For an article I'm writing, I tried out the AI Assist in Onshape.
I opened a demo assembly provided by PTC, selected a part, and asked AI Advisor how thick it should be. It replied with a wordy answer, too wordy for my liking; my eyes glazed over.
Part of it read, “Onshape's Thickness Analysis tool can help you visualize and analyze wall thickness problems before manufacturing.” The included link sent me to a general what’s-new video, and not a tutorial on the command.
When I asked “Where is the Thickness Analysis tool?”, it again offered a paragraph of text, this time with a link to Onshape’s help file. I would have expected it to launch the command for me, or even highlight the command’s icon in the toolbar.
In all of this, I am typing. What ever happened to speech input?

lol 😂. I can just see someone a few months ago thinking “what this software needs is AI chat.”
