Anyone else using Mate Controller?
I'm on 2016. I can create positions and update. However, "calculation" is hit and miss. The mate values update when calculating the animation, but the graphics don't always update. I also have a constraint that I can't change and don't know why. All I get is "The mate cannot be solved with the value specified". Funny, it solves in all my other positions and the value I'm trying to use is the same as in another position. Very frustrating.
This is an awesome tool. However, the supporting documentation and status/alert messages are severely lacking.
Hi Robert,
Is it any mates in particular that are causing the issue? If you have conflicting mates, perhaps try setting them all to making the mate driven?
If you are willing to share some screenshots, clips or even the file itself it would be good to see what's going on.
Here's a guide I wrote on the topic:
