Hello all,
Here is the situation. I have created a motion skeleton with mechanisms similar to the tutorial in,
http://www.ptc.com/cs/cs_23/howto/apm5903/apm5903.htm
to define my articulation, turning radius, and oscillation. I can easily manipulate the model with the Mechanism snapshot tool, one of the great assets for this type of skeleton. Here is the kink in the system. I would like to drive this motion from both Mechanism and have the flexibility to drive it from a traditional layout file for fine tuning and incremental changes.
Has anyone ever set up a model similar to this situation, where you can drive the motion from a layout file and Mechanism? Is there a way to set a relation that will, for example, allow a plane to float between 45deg and -45 deg without having a set value (so I can drive the motion from MDX) and also have the ability to define it from a layout file. This would give the best of both worlds to define the motion.
Thanks for any and all input.
