[@artjom239]

[@pierrewinterstein2712]

Great tutorial, helped a lot thank you

[@spiker546]

Instead of it just moving forward and back, is there a way it can go forward, back, up and down?

[@face5824]

Question - How would you insert this into another assembly and make it attachable to another dynamic/flexible part so that it moves in conjunction with it? I've tried attaching the locking mounting brack to a rigid object, and the pivot mounting bracket to the flexible object, but it will not stay attached.

PS - HUGE THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL!

[@face5824]

Nevermind... With a little more persistence I finally figured it out.

[@jonathanbaptiste7733]

So will you explain how you did it?

[@face5824]

@@jonathanbaptiste7733 The problem I had was the pivot attachment was attached to a rigid sub-assembly. Had to make it flexible before it would work within the master assembly.

Tryed on SW2013 and unable to find where is the chain tool. It's for 2015 version onwards, doesn't it?

[@idesigncad9428]

Hi Marcos the chain tool is only available in SolidWorks2015
This link shows an alternative method: th-cam.com/video/xerIIhGcgjw/w-d-xo.html

no matter what I do, It will not accept any Chain Group plane. I'm lost.
