Hi,

I have to make flexible a subassembly for use it in double copy in an assembly. I have to change independtly, for the two identical and flexible subassembly, the inclination angle of a pin constraints.

How can I do it?

Best regards,

Seems you should use the "enable regeneration value" checkbox:

One option is to use mechanism snapshots.

Hi tbraxton,

I won't to regulate the pin coupling angle by snapshots. Furthermore, I have to recall a flexible assembly in a subassembly and this subassembly in an ulterior general assembly: how can I recall the flexible quote in the general assembly?

If you are wanting to change the angle while maintaining a mechanism constraint, I would suggest using a plane in the assembly to control the base angle of the mechanism constraint. Then use flexibility to change the angle of the plane for each instance.

If you are looking for a fixed angle in the assembly, use Flexibility only.

There is always more to learn.
