How to reverse and repeat motion in animation work space...also animated springs?

[rick.glesner]

How do I reverse and repeat motion in animation work space, I've seen a way to do this before, I just can't remember. Also I've successfully animated spring in Inventor before, but I'm finding only a couple of YouTube videos that approach this but it can't be that hard to get a spring that looks like it's actually moving smoothly.

Reversing a storyboard is a command found on the right click menu that appears when you right click on the animation storyboard.

Can you show me what you found about animating springs? It's not possible in Fusion, at least not like it's done in Inventor. The commands are not the same. I'm just curious what people are doing to attempt it.

Hi...I see the reverse and can get it to work...I asked the question poorly. What I want is to have the mechanizum move through one cycle, revers direction, then continue running for a give time. I do have a screen capture of the mechanizum up on my video capture, but I can't seem to get it attached. I've tried editing the orignal question and can see where to add the video selected from my videos, but it times out all the time or says there is an issue with the link. 

Now on the few YouTube videos on spring animation...here is one...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwwy7mdfTHE&t=412s

Here is the other set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXl1BMIUPdQ   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEz9sew3mU&t=355s 

thank you for your help...Rick

The only way I know to truly reverse a storyboard is to make a second, reverse it, and then publish the two running one after the other.

The spring video you found is the only way I know how to do that in Fusion in a dynamic modeling sense. But you seem to be after something like a recorded animation or rendering. The method in that video is more for a parametric position change (like the position of components change and the spring updates when it computes), not dynamic animations.
