Overview
This node, named OnshapeExportRule, is designed to handle export rules for Onshape, a cloud-based CAD platform. It supports multiple versions (v1, v2, v3) to accommodate different API or feature sets. The node is useful for automating export processes within Onshape, such as exporting CAD data or documents according to specified rules. Practical applications include integrating Onshape export workflows into broader automation pipelines, enabling seamless data transfer or backup.
Use Case Examples
- Automate exporting CAD models from Onshape to a file storage system.
- Set up export rules to trigger exports based on specific conditions or schedules within Onshape.
- Integrate Onshape export functionality into a product lifecycle management (PLM) system.
Output
JSON
exportResult- Result of the export operation, including details about the exported files or status.
