i've already searched for this problem (search GenevaMechanism in "animation and motion/simulation") and read the twoposts and i've looked at the assemblies, motion simulations andvideos, but I can't figure out how to make the cross/rotor spinwhile engaged with the drive pin, then stop while the input crankfinishes it's rotation. in the video, the rotor spins with the pinengaged, but then it still follows it with the pin disengaged. icould have sworn i saw this as a tutorial from solidworks a coupleyears ago, maybe between '05 and '07 maybe?

any help is greatly appreciated. like one of the posts above, thisis for a college project, so the only gains i would reap from thisis a pat on the back for doing something extra haha.

thank you for your time,
