Rotate a gear (by normandajc)
Hello,
In an assembly, I want to position in rotation a gear. It stays in the same position.
why?

To rotate, your options are to:
(a) Ctrl-left-drag (to rotate within the plane of the screen) or Shift-left-drag (to rotate about the other two axes) a point or normal; or
(b) attach a "handle" to the part in the assembly by drawing a construction line, like the fat blue lines in the attachment, and left-drag the handle; or
(c) use an angle constraint.
You can't (generally) left-drag a point on the assembly to rotate. That would be nice, and I think fairly straightforward to implement, perhaps a good future feature.

I obtain a error . I join the file. in the directory version, file solveFailed.slvs

That 3d point-on-line constraint overconstrains the system, so the error message is correct. A 2d version of that constraint (select the XY plane, choose Sketch -> In Workplane, then constrain) would work.

yes thank you
