Create configuration from mechanism mode

[PWATSON]

Hi All,

I have a simple air cylinder set up that i have modelled using mechanism mode to determine the opening swing of a plate

My question is whether it is possible to capture the opening states into a configuration for my drawing? I cant seem to find a way to make a configuration when Mechanism mode is active.

 

Thanks,

Peter

Create the configuration first with the storing position information set:

While that configuration is active, start mechanism mode. Move the model to the desired location. Hit the Green Button to accept the position.

This will store the part information in that configuration. When you switch back to Default, it will return to the other position (as the Default stores positions). 

Hope that helps.
