Has anyone been using Animator / Motion Studies in 2008 on64Bit Vista?
I have a medium copmlexity motion study that refuses to allow me toput in the mating distances I want. The initial rebuild allows thepart to move to the correct position, but then a very persistantand annoying dialog (that cannot be turned off) says that due tomodel updates the parts cannot be moved to the requested positionsand wants to know if I want to update (screw up) my animation ornot.
Either way I answer the question the parts move to an eroneousposition...
IMHO Animator is a huge pile right now... Motors, Distance Mates,angle Mates, Constant Rebuilding of the timeline.... makes itnearly impossible to use.
A Trick for those trying to create a precise rotary motion thatpasses zero/360:
ie. Multiple revolutions without motors
When crossing the zero/360 mark zoom way into the timeline so youcan see one frame step. Create a zero degree step then one framelater create a 360 step.
This will essentially snap the part all the way back to zero/360 instep so you won't see it... Then you can put in the angle youwant...
Good luck... I know I'm beyond luck right now...
