drive constraints 1

[riggerdigger]

Can anyone tell me how to drive more than 1 component when using the drive constraint. I believe to drive additional constraints you have to use the equation tool, how do I do that.

I don't have enough information from your post riggerdigger to help you as much as I'd like. But to answer one of your questions, the function tool (where you can type in equasions) is located on your toolbar and should look like this ---> fx

Sorry I couldn't be more help. Finding the button was probably the least of your worries. If you want to give more information about what you're trying to do specifically, I'll try to help out.

Good luck.

Thanks MechCT,
Im trying to make a consatina out of strips of material, 1mm thick x 1000mm x100 now i can constrain 2 edges together and then put an angle constraint between the 2 components but want to add more so i can open it all out like a curtain. where is the toolbar? I cant find it.Is it in the customize,environment,toolbars,commands window.also where are the list of equations you can have?

thanks

There are a couple add-ins to help with multiple constraints and animation. There are also a bunch of other great add-ins posted on Sean's site to help with this type of request.
