In the attached assembly the part PW-34 Link Rod needs to be free to pivot around the part PW-36 Pivot Pin (as it will be connected to a gear with an offset threaded hole). Which in turn moves the part PW-31 Pushrod back & forth.
I have gone through (2X) all the pertinent parts in the assembly and suppressed the mates for each, tried to get the part PW-31 Pushrod to move without any luck.
What am I missing?
The pushrod is Fixed. It can't move, even if there are no mates.
Right click some other component, such as PW-29 or PW-30 and 'Fix' it and then right click PW-31 and 'Float' it. then things will move the way you expect.
If You float PW-31 and fix PW-29 does this give you what you want?
Yes, knew there was a simple solution (always is ). Thank you. Never encountered this before, now have a new note for my notebook.
See below. Axis and mates added to PW-33.
Solid Air provided a simple solution, I'll look at your solution as well. So much to learn so little time.
