Step Dimension - rotations beyond 180? (by Michael W)
Hello, I have a crank driven linkage model. I find that I must turn the crank by hand to see it work. I had hoped that using Analize > Step Dimension that I could automate this.

Unfortunately, even though you can step through thousands of degrees, the solver just bounces the real angle between 0 and 180, while incrementing the numeric angle as expected.

if there is a workaround, or I am doing something wrong please let me know!

Create an arc centered at your pivot, constrain a line length equal to the arc length, and then step the dimension on the line length? As far as I can tell that works for 0 to 360.
