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)>

Excellent! ... Don't think I'd want to crank that saw all day though!

Excellent.

My son would enjoy the whale jumping out of the oil.

Really interesting... I am amazed how it would animate all at the same
time...

Good job...

That is absolutely great. I love the trampoline!

What other software and/or add-ons did you use to do this?

This is very cool. I am going to assume that you used Animator to
create it. If this is the case then you may not have hit Inventor's
limit but rather ran out of memory in Animator. The solution to that is
to break it up into several segments.

The trampoline made me think you used another software, but I figured out
how you did it. Great work.

It looks like you wasted a lot of time playing around, but I'd bet you
learned a ton about IV assemblies and constraints.

Didn't take long for someone to comment on that. There are 3 little
gears with cranks driven by the red gear with the connector arm. Those
provide the different reciprocating movements that rock things at the
different speeds. ----------
