If you're making technical parts, I highly recommend just biting the bullet and learning parametric cad with fusion 360. There's a ton of learning resources on youtube etc. OnShape seems like a quite promising alternative but I assume there's less material since it's newer.

I've used OnShape a fair bit, and it's pretty solid for technical parts. But recently, I've been doing prints of 3D scans (which work surprisingly well these days!!), and OnShape is sorta the wrong tool for the job for that.

I'm using a crazy combination of pre-processing in Blender and then post-processing in OnShape today, and feel like I should be able to just use Blender for the whole job.
