Question

Pro/Animation rotation question

I want to rotate several elements around a hinge point, but I cannot
figure out how to specify the hinge point.

What am I overlooking?

Thank you,

    No mechanism application available.

    Alright, you can all laugh and point, because I was being an idiot. We do have mechanism, I just never had a reason to use it, nor has anyone else here and since PTC usually charges for extra functionality, I didn't even bother to look when Krystal mentioned it.

    Krystal, I am sorry for discounting your educated experience out of hand.

    Now I have to learn another application to figure out how to rotate this control panel out of the way.

    Thanks for all the input,

    You don't necessarily need Pro-Mechanism. We do not have it but I can still assemble components using pin connections (utilizing an axis in each part) and rotate parts using snapshots for animations. Another module may allow it.

    I've looked through the options on the forum but I can't find what I'm
    looking for - something that will keep me logged into the forum for more
    than 20 minutes! I use "proe" as a keyword in Firefox to open the forum
    and I have to log in every single time. If I search the forum and leave
    my computer for a little while, when I return, I have to log in again!
    I'd prefer an option to stay logged in permanently.
