Mechanism - Threaded mechanism assistance
(OP)
Does anybody know how you would set up a threaded mechanism to work?
I want to recreate the turning of the threaded part to product movement/adjustability in another. I would not normally show/use thread but this mechanism depends on it.
A similiar mech is that used on kneeling chairs, where a double ended threaded component is used to adjust chair height/posture.
Thanks.

RE: Mechanism - Threaded mechanism assistance
Alternatively, you can create a helical curve to represent the thread(s) on the rotating part, and a point on the other part. Create a point on curve constraint using these two features and you will get the same effect. You can then hide the curve and point. A search in this forum should result in a few methods for creating helical curves.
