Rotational Constraint Misbehaving in Inventor Studio.

I am animating the path of a trolley with two fixed castors and two swivel castors.

I have placed an angular constraint between the side of the castor and the side of the trolley.

I can get the castor to follow the path of the trolley up to a certain point but when I try to animate the angle of the castor to go from 270 degrees to 0 degrees it always goes to 180, 90 and then to 0 (anti-clockwise) rather than straight to 0 (clockwise). Is there anyway to force the direction of an animation.

Thanks

Can you Attach your assembly here?

Can you Attach your assembly here (rather than providing 3rd party link)?

I did try but the file was too large.

I will look at this again on Monday.

Thanks

There was a lot of extra stuff in the zipped folder that was not needed.

I did not dig into your problem yet as I question whether you really need individual bottles/ I would probably use an image or two as cosmetic textures on simple cube to simplify the geometry. (at least in the buried internal geometry that cannot be seen in the video)
