I have this assembly of an eccentric component/gear on a shaft with a mating component. Does SWX have the capability of making this assembly work dynamically? If is does, what is the procedure of commands to make this happen?

Hi

See Solidworks help for cam-follower mates. This is a reletively new feature (SW2001).

This functionality was added in SW2001 SP5. If you open help and select index. Then type cam in the keyword field it should point you straight to cam-follower mates. If you have downloaded the service packs but not updated your help files you may not have this information.

Also, when using the cam follwer mate, you have to select all surfaces to create a closed loop. "Happy the Hare at morning for she is ignorant to the Hunter's waking thoughts."
