Assembly Spinning When Using Servo??

Assembly Spinning When Using Servo??

Assembly Spinning When Using Servo??

(OP)
Hi all, first time here but having a problem that is causing a huge headache. I just started using the animation portion of pro/e and everything was going great. I'm creating a propeller for a underwater sub and when I attach the servo motor to it the motor spins and the propeller stays still. I was able to work around that by changing the order in which I assemble the propeller and body. I got the first one working fine but when I incorporated it into my design only the first of the 4 propellers works the way it's supposed to. The others spin my assembly like crazy.

The propeller that is causing the spinning is mirrored onto the other side of the assembly but I'm not sure if that is the problem.

I'm using wildfire 4.0, thanks in advance for your help.

Here's an example of the problem I'm facing. If anyone can tell me how to swap which body the servo applies to I'd really appreciate it.

ok, after about 10 hours scratching my head I finally got a google result to another part of this site that had the answer. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=213554&page=3

Turns out I had forgotten to ground the first member of my assembly. It's the stupid mistakes that get you I guess.
