Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a technical issue related to building a driver for a pin connection in an assembly using Pro-E software. The focus is on restricting the range of motion for an animation and addressing challenges with setting the positive angle direction correctly.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration with the software's handling of the positive angle direction when trying to define the range of motion for a pin connection.
  • The participant notes that using the 'flip' option does not yield the expected results in the 'select zero' menu, leading to confusion about how to achieve the desired motion.
  • Another participant inquires about how the first participant resolved their issue after expressing frustration.
  • A different participant questions the discovery of older posts related to the topic, indicating a potential disconnect in the timeline of the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as one participant resolves their issue while others express confusion or curiosity about the resolution process.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of detail regarding the specific steps taken to resolve the issue, and the discussion does not clarify the assumptions or definitions that may affect the understanding of the problem.

Hopefully someone here can help me... I'm almost at my wit's end

I'm trying to build a driver for a pin connection in an assembly so that I can restrict the range of motion and make an animation

When I select the connection, the default positive angle direction is not the way that I want it. I hit the 'flip' option, and it flips the positive direction, but then when I go into the 'select zero' menu, it acts as if the positive direction is the default. Since I want to define the range of motion, whatever I select ends up as allowing everything other than what I want.

It's driving (no pun intended) me crazy.

Attached is the picture. Basically, I want the long bar to extend outward (to the right).

If it makes a difference, I'm using v2001 student.
