hello,

new to assemblies. im attempting to push the lid in then rotate 90deg then push down again like the parts would work in real, however unable to line up the slot then rotate it. apologies, this is probably a simple task ...

thanks cm

An iam file is simply a list of instructions on how the parts (*.ipt files) are put together.

You must include the part files.

Hi! Many thanks for sharing the additional files! Now I understand what you are trying to do. The two parts are not yet constrained. As a result, the razor2:1 is free to move, while razor1:1 is grounded. You need to add an Insert constraint between two circular edges. Then add an angular constraint so that the razor2:1 is at the desirable angle. The animation can be created using Inventor Studio via animating constraints workflow. Please let us know if more information is needed.

Thanks again!
