I'm having problems designing a cable that will furl the tailbone of a water pumper. I've seen some examples in the SW forum and YouTube. The cable I'm trying to design attaches to a winch and goes up to the water pumper platform and finally attaches to the end of the tailbone. I also have a pulley on top of a post that will rotate as the tailbone furls, so the cable needs to turn with the tailbone. I tried creating the cable in the assembly using 3D sketch, but could not get the Swept Boss to work. Eventually I will create an animation of the tail bone furling. Any Idea would be appreciated, thank you.
I was able to create a cable in the assembly level, but when I move the tailbone the cable does not update with the movement and when I rebuild the assembly I get a sweep error and the cable disappears. I know all of us are very busy, but I would really appreciated if someone could look at the attach assembly and give me some ideas on what I'm doing wrong, thanks.
