Sketch animate and values capture

Sketch animate and values capture

Sketch animate and values capture

(OP)
Hi,

I'm working with a sketch to evaluate a mechanism.  I am using the animate sketch functionality, but cannot figure out how I may capture the reference values, length, angles and such.  Anyone know how this may be accomplished?  I need to capture the values in a spreadsheet for graphing.

Thanks,
D

RE: Sketch animate and values capture

Hello,

option 1 : you can do this with a script.

option 2 : With Kinematic you can have output results with sensors.

option 3 : You have to do it manually.

option 4 : if you don't know scripting, don't have KIN License and don't have time to do it manually, then you need to have someone do your job...
