Taxonomy / Brand
Reference notes in the Brand taxonomy for Onshape.
Replace the vague promise of an editable CAD file with a precise outcome covering the required change, authoring authority, update behavior, and acceptance evidence.
Choose between native authoring continuity, an associative reference, converted geometry, and selective or full reconstruction based on change authority and update needs.
Build a repeatable acceptance test for imported CAD editability that covers the required change, route context, dependencies, update behavior, and downstream result.
Understand why a collection of valid-looking component shapes is not necessarily a usable assembly, and define the structural properties a handoff must preserve.
Specify the identities, repeated occurrences, revisions, and configuration context needed to reuse, replace, update, or archive a design.
Treat a design handoff as a dependency graph and choose deliberately between live references, copied packages, and flattened or bound delivery.
Build a purpose-specific acceptance record for a transferred product structure, including hierarchy, identities, configurations, placements, and dependencies.
