Help with Joint_Slider_Limits

[troyostrander]

New to Inventor question.....I can get it to stop at the end but not stop at the start which is zero.  See demo video and file.

Hi! It looks like the Joint Limit is in a corrupted state. I tried changing the lower bound to 1mm and it worked. Then I changed it back to 0 and it also worked.

Do you know how to reproduce it from scratch?

Many thanks!

Hi!

Use traditional Constraints with limits instead of Joints.

Traditional constrains are easier to use, more reliable and expectable then Joins.

My suggestion is: Use only Joins when a task is not possible to do  with constraints, which is very very rare.

Hi Johnson, 

So changing it to 1 and back to zero worked! Thank you.

Also I was able to reproduce the bug from scratch ....See demo video Youtube link. Tell me if I can be of any more help. You have the files in the initial message.

Best, Troy
