How to set up Duro’s integration with Onshape

Subscribe to the Duro PLM app for Onshape (in the Onshape App Store)

Start by finding the Duro PLM app in the Onshape App Store. If you're a new user, subscribe to the application. For those who haven't subscribed, a 14-day free trial is available. However, it's important to note that the standard version of the application is free, so if you're already a customer, you can ignore the free trial label.

Check your Onshape account for app registration

After subscribing, log into your Onshape account and check your Applications list to ensure the Duro app has been registered. The app should be listed under a non-trial (free) plan in your Onshape Applications list.

Set your plugin password in Duro

Within your Duro account, set up a plugin password that will be used to access the Duro PLM app for Onshape. This password will be exclusively used to log into the Duro PLM app within Onshape.

Navigate to Account Settings > Your Profile > Plugin Password. Here, choose "Set a New Password." The “Change your password” section of the Your Profile article within the Help Desk provides more extensive instructions regarding setting and changing your plugin password.

Accessing and adding the Duro PLM app to an Onshape document

After subscribing to the Duro PLM app for Onshape and setting your Duro PLM plugin password, you can now add the Duro PLM app to any active Onshape document. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Open the document to which you want to connect the Duro PLM app.
2. Click on the plus sign (+) at the top of your document interface, then select Applications > Duro PLM.
3. The Duro app will load in a new tab at the lower portion of your Onshape document view.

Log into the Duro PLM app using your plugin password

Once the Duro PLM app is added to your document, log in using the plugin password you established earlier. After logging in, you will have access to the Duro PLM features within your Onshape document.
