Hi

I set up an oscillating rotary motor in one of my models to oscillate through 90 degrees but it only rotates by 1 degree maybe 2 at a push.

Anybody else had this issue?

I had a look at a few examples on line & cant see where or if I have made an input error.
 
The following isn't the correct way to diagnose the problem, but...

What I like to do (especially when I'm not the original designer of the part/assembly) - what I like to do is 'blow away all the mates.' Go to the 'mates' - then just delete them all - or suppress them one by one. In that way it's easy to troubleshoot your part a little better.

Thanks I just did that and ended up finding the offending mate buried away in one of the sub assemblies.
