I'm just wondering how to design and process shear plates, in D-Cam and into our timber joinery ? Anyone have any tips ?
Thanks!

Do you really need them to visualize? Normally it's enough to have them in the material list. You can add them to a drilling.
In the drilling menu press the (redarrowed) button, there is already a choice of connectors/fasteners. You can expand the choice by yourself in the building database.

Der_Planer, I thought it would be nice to be able to show them in open GL rendering translucent objects. The outline of the shear plate would then show up in a D-Cad 2D shop drawing indicating additional fabrication.

There are so many different connectors, so it is nearly impossible to design them all and share them with the program.
Of course, you are able to design them as parts, and save them in a bibliothek and/or in the database. If you have the full version of Dicam and the measures of the parts, you can do it!

Thanks ! Der_Planer I'll think about this one.
