Viewing models with Apple Vision Pro enables you to pair the Onshape iOS device to one or more Apple Vision Pro devices via bluetooth over the same WiFi connection. The Onshape model (part, publication, or assembly) is then cast from the iOS device to the Apple Vision Pro devices using spatial computing.

Pairing devices is set up either from the Onshape Settings screen or from the Onshape Document. While casting can be initiated from anywhere in an Onshape document, only the Part Studio or Assembly tabs can cast the model.

You can view but not edit the model on the Apple vision pro.

When paired:

• If you edit the Onshape document on the iOS device, on the Apple Vision Pro:

  • Feature manipulations and Comments are viewable

  • if CAD Materials is enabled on the Apple Vision Pro, any part/instance that has a material applied displays that material.

  • Sketching, Surfacing, Graphic manipulations, Camera and render options (such as Named views and Exploded views) are not viewable.

  • Switching between Part Studio and Assembly tabs in an Onshape document is synced.

  • Panning and rotation are not synced.

  • In a Part Studio/Assembly, selecting comments highlights the part/instance in the graphics area if it is tagged, but the comment icon does not display on the part/instance.

• If you edit the Onshape document on the Apple Vision Pro, on the iOS device:

  • In the Part Studio/Assembly, comments added and parts/instances tagged with comments are viewable.

    When viewed in a browser, a comment icon () is displayed to the right of the tagged part/instance in the Parts list/Instances list. The comment icon is also displayed over the part/instance in the graphics area:
