collision detection

[design-engine]

I got a four bar system to work in Mechanism. Drag it around an all. What do
I do to create a collision detection? I am so tired of hearing Solidworks users
tell me SolidWorks comes stock with collision detection.

I'm not sitting at a desk with ProE at the moment but from memory, within mechanism, simply attach your relevant servos, run your analysis and on playback, there is a button to click to detect colision, I think there are three options within that (cant remember what that is tho') maybe it not on playback... maybe it on the analysis it self?


I'll get back to ya when I get pro opened a little later..

Interference
Use the following options on the Interference tab of the Playbacks dialog box to
specify what type of interference checking Mechanism Design does during an
analysis.

Don't need to worry about solidworks complaining. That functionallity is avalable in WF3 that should be out soon.
