venkata_karavadi681

Hi, i am a rookie on an ftc team, and i want to animate my linear slide on my robot The problem is i can only animate one sliding mate at the time, and i dont know how to do multiple sliding mate animations at once. Can someone please help me with this?   Thanks, Venkata

The only way to do this right now is to add "relations" between mates: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/relations.htm?Highlight=relation
so that animating one makes the others move as well.

Hi! Onshape will only let you animate one mate at a time. However, you can add relations between mates. That way when you animate one mate, any mates that have a relation to that mate will also move. You can read more about how to use them in the help center: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/relations.htm

I also recommend taking a look at this self-paced course which includes how to use mate relations: https://learn.onshape.com/courses/advanced-onshape-assemblies
