Inventor is not a toy... or is it?

See .avi in IVCF, warning - size is 10 megs.
Thought someone would enjoy a little levity for the holidays. This
started as the constraints tutorial on Adsk web site. It worked so
well I decided to keep adding till IV broke. It's not surprising I
ended up with something that looked like a stamping press, complete
with feeder, de-reeler and oil spray. Then I decided to get cute and
add a sailboat to the oil reservoir... that's when it turned into a
toy. No better way to learn than repetition, and I replicated. The
first 5 hours everything was breaking on every move. After I figured
it out, I couldn't believe how easy and solid it was. It's all stock
constraints driven by the blue crank gear. No equations or macros. IV
lasted longer than I did, but it got pretty slow to work with. I'm
thinking IV would be very popular if it sold for $59.00 and was called
Inventor Tycoon. :o)>

If you guessed the main body of the trampoline has a conical center
and the flat is a separate part that moves up and down with a cam
underneath the big mounting plate... you would be correct.
There are a lot of ways to waste time. I have wasted a lot of time to
perfect my abilities. I don't know if it will make me happy on my
death bed.

Excellent piece of work! So, where's the white paper on how it was created?

Great job Diemaker. We had our user group (iVUG [Inventor Valley User
Group]) meeting last night and your avi was the hit of the night.
Thanks for sharing with us all.
