Rotating a pack Inventor Studio

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:13:25 GMT

Hi Guys,

Help needed please. I am trying to animate packs going along a conveyor, through a Turret (ring), it will then stop just after the hot wire/cutter, as shown in the image attached.

I am now trying to turn the pack through 90DEG but I am not having any luck. I keep getting the error shown in the image. I have used IS lots and lots of times so I am well aware of the importance of constraints, however, this time, I am goosed.....

Am i right to be using the angle constraint to constrain the XY planes (i have tried all planes!)? This is the method I have been going down without any luck at all.

Cheers!

As far as I can evaluate it seems to me that the box is over-dimensioned.

I see 3 times a Flush constraint and a Angle constraint??

Problem all sorted now. I had too many constraints on the box. I created a small DIA hole on the top surface of the box, and constrained the central axis to a face in the direction of which i wanted the box to travel....

Quite tricky really....
