This worked for me, David. It doesn't regenerate with a squared off end until you move the face, though.

Thanks Jim. Interesting to read this: https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-7300AC15-E23A-4259-9698-ADCFBFFE7B6C See also: https://www.cadlinecommunity.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/203174581-Inventor-2016-iLogic-Remove-all-Adaptivity-in-Assembly

I think it needs the implementation of an additional constraint from the D-Cubed 3D DCM https://plm.sw.siemens.com/en-US/plm-components/d-cubed/3d-dcm/

You just need to click Apply once to gain the focus on it, then holding down the Enter key keeps clicking it for you : )

In case anyone wants to try this. You can drag the cam but it only works correctly with Precise Placement. Click the Apply button to gain focus on it and then hold down your Enter key to drive the animation. You can change the speed and also the rotational direction of the cam, whilst it's...

Well done beefy! Works beautifully! If you set the rotation increment to 1 degree, you get a nice smooth animation. I'd completely forgotten that tutorial. There's so much that can be done using Precise Placement. I've never understood why it doesn't get more attention. See also...

Maxwell was the first render I used (2004). Pity they've never considered the MCAD userbase...

xNurbs plugin for Alibre? Yes please.

Well done!

That's great!

Great! Thanks for checking that eron. So, you could use a keyboard macro to control an animation with a normal spring in it. That should do what Old Geeser wants. Much simpler than complex spring assemblies... Well done...

If you use Precise Placement to move the parts. Does it update between each increment of movement?

Of course that's not going to work... It's cool, though, to set the mouse wheel scroll setting to 1 line and the spinner increment in Part Settings to 1mm and use the mouse wheel to compress and decompress a spring : )

Dependant on the specific model you're animating, you could drive the whole animation using the increments of height, or pitch, in the helical boss dialog box...

Good to see you again Delboy. We both date back almost 20 years here, now!

This was done in 2007! No scripts then... Edit: Or do you mean a macro driving Precise Placement?

If you want to manipulate the ball and see the chain follow, you can use the Precise Placement tricks here: https://www.alibre.com/forum/index.php?threads/inherent-kinematic-ability.1431/#post-7076 If you break a link, just press F5 : )
