Re: new Featurescript: Statics Solver
- I believe the UIHint.FOCUS_INNER_QUERY will let you choose which input is auto focused when adding new items to an array. You could make your array selection driven, this way the user won't have to click the button every time they want to add a new force.
- You can add a manipulator arrow to the selected line and have it so that when the user clicks the arrow it toggles the direction. Manipulators are a great way to simplify the UI and make it more intuitive for the user.
Regarding code review:
Everything I have learned about FS I'm putting into the CADSharp FeatureScript Video Tutorials. If you learn the content from those lessons, then you will pretty much know what I know about FS. More lessons are still coming out weekly.
Re: new Featurescript: Statics Solver
I cleaned up the UI quite a bit today. I tried a linear manip, but decided to make it even more simple. And the focus thing worked well.
Improvements to Classrooms that could be made
- specifying a destination when you copy something within the classroom, so it doesn't automatically copy into the classroom, you can copy it into your "Owned By Me" page
- maybe an option so the classroom just isn't the default option when you open onshape? an option to customize the sidebar and default page, possibly
- transferring ownership of a document you made from the classroom to yourself
- transferring ownership of a document from a classroom to the individual that made it, as an admin, shares the document with that admin automatically. This is bad.
Re: BEND NOTES ANGLE
After looking into a number of topics regarding these bending notes, I am happy to have discovered the solution, which is really beneficial.

Re: BEND NOTES ANGLE
Thank you for your attention, @Oliver_Couch. The bending machine operator is used to using a 180° reference for intact plates and is accustomed to using finished dimensions, such as in this case, 135°. There is a concern that this process might be bent the other way around, even though the finished shape is already indicated in the drawing. This is just to anticipate any mistakes.

Re: New Custom Feature: Animate
@jan_bouwman although I wrote this for a customer, your original post inspired me to get this done!
Re: Hidden lines on drawing not consistent with part
It looks like you might have used a loft with twisted connections and it's trying to display that. I would go back to the loft features and look that the iso lines, I bet they are not oriented the way you would expect.

Re: Can a variable in a Part Studio be used in an Assembly?
Thanks David_YL_Nguyen. Solved my problem moving part studio variables into a variable studio. Seems like "paste table" is not an unreasonable feature.
