Help with Pro-E Driver Question | Student Version 2001

[enigma]

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.

Hello,

I understand that you are having trouble building a driver for a pin connection in your assembly. It seems like you are trying to restrict the range of motion and create an animation. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to encounter unexpected behavior in the software.

Firstly, I would suggest checking if there are any updates available for your version of Pro-E. Sometimes, newer versions have bug fixes and improvements that can help resolve issues like this.

In terms of the positive angle direction, have you tried using the 'select zero' option before flipping the direction? This may help in defining the desired range of motion. Additionally, you can also try using the 'select range' option to specify the exact angle you want to restrict the motion to.

If these options do not work, it may be helpful to reach out to the official Pro-E support team for further assistance. They will have more in-depth knowledge of the software and may be able to provide a specific solution for your issue.

I hope this helps and you are able to successfully build your driver for the pin connection. Good luck!
