Great video & thanks a lot

[@JohnFekoloid]

When Creo is taught, its very easy.
When it isn't taught, it's harder than calculus.
Thanks David..

[@CADPLMGuy]

I agree. It's a complex tool and requires training. Whenever someone expresses a strong dislike for Creo, I can usually tell they have not been trained well or at all. So many companies scrimp on training, but it pays for itself.

[@dimedrroll]

man, thank you so much, this video is just godlike

[@CADPLMGuy]

Thanks!

[@matthewcosgrove655]

Thanks! You helped me resolve an issue at work today.

[@CADPLMGuy]

Glad to hear that! That’s what this channel is for.

[@mayodeere]

Thanks for this video, It was the kind of help I ecxactly was looking for... nice job!

[@CADPLMGuy]

Glad it helped, Mario!

[@silentprayers728]

So clear! I got the points coincident. I just don't understand what the cone means in terms of motion.

[@CADPLMGuy]

The cone is the limit of the range of motion. Think about your shoulder. That's a ball joint, but your shoulder can't rotate in every possible direction around the sphere. For one thing, your body is in the way. Also, you have ligaments and muscles that limit the range of motion. Swing your shoulder around as far as you can in every direction. That's the cone.

[@djhahne]

Hi! What happens when you add multiples of that assembly to the next higher assembly? Is there a way to Make Flexible so that they can be at unique different angles? Is there a way to have the angles determined by mating components at the next higher assembly? Thanks for your usual great content!

[@CADPLMGuy]

Different instances of a mechanism can be assembled with different translations and rotations. No need to make it flexible. That’s just how mechanisms work.

[@CADPLMGuy]

See my recent mechanisms videos on a valve train assembly for examples of this.

[@INDOGERMANMECHANICAL]

Come to the point????
You are taking so much time..
It's my advice..

[@CADPLMGuy]

It's regrettable that the content on this free educational service I have created and provided is not delivered quickly enough for you. Perhaps my channel is not for you. But that is the beauty of TH-cam: if you don't like a creator's content, you are free to find material that is more to your liking. Even better, this is an opportunity for you to create videos better than the ones I decided to make when I found the quality of TH-cam videos on Creo Parametric lacking.
