Pivot objects

[überfuzz]

I have designed a mechanical device with 3 moving parts. All these objects are pivoting different axis. Is it possible to pivot these object separately? Kind of like Edit - Placement - (set rotation).

Edit, or have some kind of linked motion happening..?

There is an animation workbench which you may try. If you want to do it directly:
You can change the values of constraints with python with something like

Code: Select all

  obj.setDatum(constraintNr,App.Units.Quantity(str(nw-angle/2.0)+' deg'))
  ...
  doc.recompute()

You will find more about this if you search for animation in the Macro recipes

Thanks! I'll do that.
