Assembly tutorial for sliding,spinning assemblies

(OP)
I've got the basics of modeling but I'm struggling with the fancy stuff- having the model parts move. Any tips or www sites for tutorials?

Thanks

RE: Assembly tutorial for sliding,spinning assemblies

Maybe a tip,smile but what works good for me is to save a connection type naming of sub-assemblys.

So when I need a certain DOF for a part then I can grab something that gets me part ways there, drop that in my main and then add my part with the last connection.

Tie that in with some axis naming in the start assy. parts and it makes it a little easier when you want to place that free in 3 axis movement that's normal to a certain plane and has to follow that slot or whatever the case maybe

My set up does not have the mechanism license- is it still possible have moving parts?
