Error while trying to animate my project.

Error: Unable to compute any steps for this animation. Unable to apply transform. Instance(s) may be constrained.

I'm able to animate the project when I animate using one of the revolute mates. However, it gives me this error if I try animating it with other mates.

I don't know if I can give edit access through link-sharing.

    In the share menu you can go to individual and create an editable link there. Unfortunately you give edit permissions in a public share. If it's something you want though I would definetely upvote that improvement request as it would be a pretty way cool to develop open source projects and design competitions.

    When I copied your document and supressed the cam (part 1) I could move the shaft. I think you're problem might be the tangent mate since your cam has a flat section moving would violate that mate. If you want to keep that mate try making the entire cam curved. Otherwise try making a screw relation.
