Title: Onshape Connector for KeyShot10 Fix
Post by: andrew.brase on February 03, 2021, 09:32:04 AM
FYI for those of you using Onshape and recently upgraded to KeyShot10:

I find this plugin incredibly useful for my workflow and was bummed that at first this install didn't seem to work with KS10. I've found that the current version (https://luxion.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KP/pages/38707932/Onshape) of the package automatically installs the plugin file to the KS9 plugin folder.

PC: C:\Users\----\Documents\KeyShot 9\Plugins
Mac: /Library/Application Support/KeyShot9/Plugins

FYI the actual plugin file once unpacked and installed is named:

PC: "onshape.dll"
Mac: "libonshape.dylib"

I've found two solutions that may work for those of you in my situation:


When I came across this problem I had actually started with a fresh KS10 install on a new laptop and didn't have the KS9 folder structures. When installing the plugin, it didn't seem to know where to go and wound up creating a stray disconnected Keyshot plugins folder by default. If this happens you can hunt down this file and drag and drop it back into the KS10 Plugins folder.

I hope someone else finds this is helpful!
