Topic: Motion Studies, Animation Wizard, Explode or Collapse
Assistance is welcomed!
Description of undesired results:
- After an exploded view sequence is generated in a SW assembly model a new motion study is created next. When the Animation Wizard menu is selected and I check off either collapse or explode two incorrect and undesired results occur. The first result I notice is that the spacing and or distance between the exploded components increases dramatically a much different result then what was set-up in the models exploded view. The second common result is that whenever you select a custom shorter time duration for the exploded or collapse results in the animation not completing the entire explode or collapse sequence.
- Assistance/Help is looked for to enable the desired exploded or collapse part spacing in an Animation Wizard results. If there is a work around or SP that corrects this that would be ideal.
- For the Animation Wizard are there setting methods that allow for the explode or collapse to finish in a shorter time frame?
I will appreciate any input, suggestions or tips for the above-
Using SW 2011 SP4 at the time of this topic
Steve I'm not sure for the error on the spacing thing as I've never observed it or better to say never checked it. Can you try it on different files and check. What is the possibility of sharing your files to check.
For the time thing, after you have done with animation wizard, select all the keys and drag them to left side with either of shift or alt button (heck I can't remember exactly which button). The whole animation time will get shorten.
