Are there any good tutorials on how to use the animate tool? Most of the tutorials are for TS7 not for TS Wood?
I would like to be able to animate a simple rotation of an assembly.
Thank you,

Re: Animate Assembly
Yes, but not as complicated just the basics and I would like to do it in TopSolid Wood, not TopSolid7 if possible.

Re: Animate Assembly
There is not much information about Kinematics. It's "old thing" in TopSolid Wood and officially no information about this. I asked materials for that year ago and got that answer. Here is very small video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwFxl33iGcw&t=12s
Maybe this one helps a bit too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7ljHIHV42Y
You have in Projects folder sample files.. look Bike Timing. There is small animated assembly scenario. I tried to look inside, but tree was too long. I can play with this on the weekend, maybe I can sort something out.

Re: Animate Assembly
So from what I understand from your not looking to animate it being taken apart and assembled but just want to travel around your design and present it so I would suggest looking at Assembly | Travelling is much easier I think I have not used it in a while I think you can even draw geometry for the camera to follow.

Btw, Mr. Opdam's videos are very good.

Re: Animate Assembly
Thank you all for the links, The Traveling function worked for me, I'll try kinematics next.
