Limiting a left and right movement of a point located on a horizontal sketched curve line.
Limiting a left and right movement of a point located on a horizontal sketched curve line.
(OP)
Hey all
I have recently learned about motion skeletons and how to use them.
I have a horizontal line representing a left and right path of a point. I want to be able to limit the distance that point can be moved when highlighting it and dragging it left and right. This point is a line segment end that in the motion skeleton is also defined as a pin location. I do not do any programming or much mathematical if then statements in ProE for such control. Any help would be appreciated

My suggestions were to split the Line using split point if you only wanted the point to move a certain distance on the line. However with Coincident or point on line in sketcher the point can travel further along or even off the line.
The >,< dim relations will give a warning if relation is violated but will not prevent it from happening but will pop up a message stating the relation that was valued.
Say your sketch dimension is sd6
Line 1| sd6 >= 2
Line 2| sd6 <= 10
As soon as the dim value goes outside range by modify or drag entity. You will get a message about the error
: Line # in section: Constraint has been violated.
/!\: Some constraint relations are no longer satisfied in S2D####.
The only way to forcefully maintain the limits is to use if then statements. Then is given by following line's equation.
Line 3| if sd6 < 2
Line 4| sd6=2
Line 5| endif
Line 6| if sd6 > 10
Line 7| sd6 = 10
Line 8| endif
