Constraint offset flipping sides


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hey guys,

 

Not sure why but when i do a contarint offset to edges it seems to flip which side its on as I change the length of my conveyor.

 

I am new to this and could be doing thing s wrong but I am looking for any help you can provide.

 

See my youtube I made of the problem I am having. The end of the vedio has the problem. I could not get the problem to happen first try but I did end up getting it.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Guys,

Constraints to edges and points do that sometimes, because they don't really have a positive / negative value like planes and faces do. Sometimes Inventor just gets confused.

 

Whenever possible, just constrain to faces instead.

Perhaps you should constrain the center axis of your rollers to the center axis of the curved end of the belt.

That was actually the first way I was trying but it was not working. But with this program, one thing wrong and it does not work I find. I guess it's like everything experience with the program would make it so simple to do.
