Aligning Linkages All on Pivots

dana_kelley262

I'm trying to figure out how to align two anchored linkages, see document. To connect as intended the two connectors must be inline with axle to axle center line. The Middle Pivot Arm, Middle Linkage Arm can be moved to place the Middle Linkage Arm Right Connector on the Gear Crank Arm.

Look at shared link. View Right Plane

A Part Studio is a space for you to design each component, not place their positions. This is what an Assembly is for. Looking at your design you should have at least 3 Part Studios for the design of these 7 components.

 You should be using an Assembly and placing the appropriate mates on the components. This will make part alignment a breeze as seen here:
