Camera - Sled - Path Animation

Apr 16, 2008 2 Replies

Newby question here - Ive spent all day trying to get a camera to animate along a path in SWX 2008. The path is just a simple circular sketch above an assembly and Im trying to mate the camera to the path so that it always points at the assembly below in the centre of the circular sketch.



Any clues?

A camera can be made to stay on a vertex, stay pointed at a point or vertex, and stay oriented w.r.t. a face. The faces or vertices or points can be on the camera sled or on any component or assembly sketch.

I use a camera sled with sketched lines extending past the solid portion to be used as camera targets.

Thnaks for the tip. Looks like another day of attempting to get SWX to behave itself.
