Is there someone in this SW community that is knowledgeable about motor driven animation (or animation in general) that would be willing to look at my radial engine to see if they can figure out why only some of the objects in this assembly move for the animation but work fine when moved manually?

I could zip and 'YouSentIt' to a volunteer.

I had considered purchasing the book called Creating Animations with SolidWorks, but I don't want to purchase it without first seeing how the tutorials are presented. If it is just a rehash of the help files then I wouldn't get it. If it were actual project tutorials that were written really well I would consider it. I found a old version 'look inside' on amazon, bit it only shows the Table of Contents and the Index, which gives no indication of the quality of tutorials.

Edit: Reuploaded as figured out the timing better.
