I discover that Inventor 2011 introduced Constrains Limits.

This will change my life! Probably the best next feature we could have asked for.

Yeah, but who wants to pay that much money?

Always possible to use cheap Fusion360, there is lot of different "mechanical mates". Only problem with that one is that you cannot create proper BOM lists and almost none of the attributes are not autopopulating from models to drawings. If you do not need drawings, then the Fusion is good choice.

The best software enables to design a product, its analysis and optimization with essentials tools in a cheaper way. This new “old” tool is part of the essentials ones for the project process and it must have been present since ADV11.

Well, the install 0f 2019 does not work, so I cannot see the new surprise!

Please see my response to your post and try it. But, as stated in the video, this surprise is not in 2019.0. Next release.

a few short months after 2019.0 ships.

Has it been 3 to 4 months yet? Are we there yet?

GREAT! WHEN ?WHEN ? WHEN?
Seems like the original Alibre had this and then it went away when they wanted to sell the range of motion addin

Great addition to the tool chest. All my cabinet and engine drawings thank you.

I will put in another vote for revolve ratios so my gears will work also. Then my engines will purr!

Please make this happen. With this and constraint limits, the constraint definitions would improve big time!

Hello Bob,

i'm only curious, do i understand this right?
Is it for some kind of animation?
It isn't for the design process itself?

Regards
Stefan

I would certainly be using it for the design process to verify movement limits and interfearence issues.

Hello Simon,

verify movement limits and interfearence issues

wouldn't it be more helpful to have some kind of "gate shift link motion cam gear" constraint? Don't laugh to much about the comical naming.
As far as can "easily" calculate a movement with a certain ratio (and make state configurations), i would like to have help from a constraint when i move things with a camfollower or something like this...
So i would vote for a "polyline-constraint". (this does not forbid a ratio constraint...)

Stefan

That would be on my wishlist. It also provides the most flexible usage, from cams to slotted tracks, etc.

I like it!
