Part transform within constraints in A2plus

[MrCAD]

Hello !!
Regarding A2plus WB, I have 2 questions:

1) translation or motion after assembly
2) limiting the angular constraint (limit the movement of part between certain angle)

1) I have been trying for rotating, sliding FC part in A2plus WB, in other words, I want to give motion under constraint after assembly but it doesn't move a bit. I tried different approach using different constraints, but still, no luck.

2) For this below example of Door Handle like part, how to lock the angular movement at certain angle such as -90° and +90°?

However, I tried the same assembly on SW and it was worked as I expected. Also I looked after some tutorials of A2Plus on Youtube but that also didn't work.

Ultimately, I'd like to move, translate the ROBOT (actually imported STEP format) in A2Plus assembly and see the reach of robot with its end effector which is large assembly however to put it here, therefore I put a simple example like this.

A2+ doesn't offer much in the way of animation.

The Animation workbench might be a better option or Assembly4 workbench.

IIRC Animation workbench needs some love concerning Python versions.

Sigh...and it's a microelly thing isn't it.

Yes, indeed. A pity is currently not active in the forum; I hope he is well.

I guess you are right, but I was unable to find the animation workbench even after installing through add-on manager.
