Our license shows Mechanism as a license extension and (5) are available. When we try to access Mechanism through the "Application/ Mechanism", I get the following error. "The option Mechanism_Design has not been accquired". Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Side issue, may be related:
We are using hydraulic cylinders made up of two components in it's own assembly. The body is at the default position and the rod is assembled using the slider constraint option with no limits set. This sub-assembly is then assembled to the main assembly. The cylinder length is driven by the component position that it is attached to. One end is fixed and both ends are using align axis constraints to locate. Here's the problem: When I rotate the component (by an angle constraint) the cylinder may or may not update after regen. One end is usually at the right position, the other is not and the length of the cylinder did not change. If I redefign the cylinder PRO recognizes the correct align axis, but the picture is not right. Status shows "partially constrained", which also is confusing. Anybody got any suggestions?
The attached pics is an example after movement. The rod is supposed to be at the round yellow center.
Thanks

Greg,
the cause of "The option Mechanism_Design has not been accquired." message can be an incorrect definition of ProE launch command. Please check file with .psf extension related to your ProE launch command (located in ProE\bin directory). It has to contain the following line (or similar one):
ENV=PROE_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_FoundationAdv (127)
The code 127 represents Mechanism Design Extension.
