Please see the picture. I am trying to simulate a crane picking up a rectangular box in one spot, and setting it down at another. In the attached picture the circle represents the range of the crane, and the rectangles represent the boxes. The problem I am having moving the box along the circle. When I first tried to rotate it with the crane, it rotated, but stayed in the same spot. Then I changed the origin in the box's part file so it was at the crane. Now when I try to rotate the box moves in the correct path, but when it gets to the destination, the orientation is wrong.
If I try to rotate the box when it at the destination, it will change position. I feel I am going about the rotation wrong. I imagine there is a much simpler way I am not aware of, or not thinking of. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
