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.

@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.
