General Tips
- To set a diagram background, switch to the edit mode
or the kinematic mode
, long-tap the diagram background, and tap the Background icon
.
- To set the diagram scale, long-tap an element of known length, click
(the Scale Diagram icon), and set the element dimension.
- To add a length constraint to an element, tap a linear dimension. Enter a numerical value to freeze the dimension. Enter 0 (Zero) or delete the dimension value to unfreeze the dimension. Linear dimensions are visible in the edit mode
.
- The Degrees of Freedom indicator
in the upper right corner of the screen shows the state of your diagram. The green symbol indicates the mechanism will move predictably.
- To see the geometry in motion, use kinematic mode
, select an element or joint and move it.
- To play the mechanism, tap
on Animation Toolbar. Animation starts immediately.
