Change Revolve Direction

ParsaParsa Member Posts: 1
Hey, I'm trying to rotate a series of objects around each other in unison but am having trouble rotating some of the pieces in the direction I'd like. If you look at the attached images, the first image shows the first state. Once I start to move the piece on the lower right, I'd like the darker object on the top to rotate clockwise around the piece that I'm actually moving (lighter grey). Instead, it's moving counter-clockwise, which I guess makes sense if this were a mechanism, but not necessarily in this scenario. The second image shows what is actually happening, and the third shows what I would like to happen. I've tried changing the orientation of the mate connectors and all that. Someone let me know if there's a way to do this! Thanks!

    @Parsa Mate connectors are not conditional so they are always evaluating their connections. If you would like, you can click share with support link at the bottom of the Share dialog and we can take a look.
