Anyone know of a good 'slot' mechanism tutorial in Pro-E?

[enigma]

I'm having a heck of a time trying to define limits of motion for planar connection mechanisms. Does anyone know of a good tutorial so I can see how they're supposed to be assembled?

or if it is not what you need.
Can you explain bit more about the motion and components profile?

I can understand your frustration with trying to define limits of motion for planar connection mechanisms in Pro-E. It can be a complex and time-consuming process, but fortunately, there are many resources available to assist you in understanding and assembling these mechanisms.

One option is to consult the official documentation and tutorials provided by Pro-E. These can be found on their website or within the software itself. They offer step-by-step instructions and examples for creating and assembling various types of mechanisms.

Additionally, there are many online forums and communities dedicated to Pro-E, where you can seek advice and guidance from experienced users. These forums often have tutorials and videos shared by users who have successfully created and assembled slot mechanisms in Pro-E.

Another helpful resource is online video tutorials. A quick search on YouTube or other video sharing platforms can lead you to tutorials specifically focused on slot mechanisms in Pro-E. These visual aids can be very useful in understanding the assembly process and defining limits of motion.

Lastly, if you have access to a mentor or colleague who is experienced in Pro-E, reaching out to them for guidance and assistance can be very beneficial. They can provide personalized tips and techniques to help you overcome any challenges you may be facing.

In conclusion, while defining limits of motion for planar connection mechanisms in Pro-E can be challenging, there are many resources available to assist you. Utilizing a combination of official documentation, online forums, video tutorials, and personal guidance can help you better understand and successfully assemble slot mechanisms in Pro-E.
