The problem that I am having is that when I save the parts, I don't really have a distance between the virtual camera and the part, so the parts don't have a relation between each other as far as the scale goes. So same of the parts are saved closer and they look bigger than some other ones that are saved further out. I don't know if you could help showing me how to set that distance and resolve my problem. That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Lou Hi Crispijn,

Did you already tried to render the simulation because SolidWorks needs to rebuild every frame - so every little displacement. Good luck! Hi Lou,

That's very cool way to build a spring on the assembly. I followed your instruction and everything came together.The only one part I couldn't figure out is when I tried in motion study the spring comes out of the shock, nothing holds it in to get compressed. Could you tell me what is it that I am doing wrong? I'd highly appreciate that. Thank you Lou Thank you Crispijn for the lesson. That’s very cool way to build a spring on the assembly.

I've used this in an assembly of my own and it works, but I am now struggling a bit with the animation part. I can only get it to move/compress when I do it manually. Have you made a tutorial for this or do you have any hints? Cheers! Great tutorial! I’ve used this in an assembly of my own and it works, but I am now struggling a bit with the animation part.

After you've inserted the new part select the face that is the bottom of the spring in your assembly. Draw and dimension the circle and exit the sketch mode. Add a new sketch in the current part and sketch it on the base plane that is perpendicular on the first one. Draw a line from the center of the circle you've created (this has to be no problem because it's the same part. To add relations between two parts just select the face of the existing/defined parts and select the endpoint of the line. Now add a relation Coincident and that should be fine... What version of SolidWorks are you using? I've tested this method from SW 2008 up to 2010 and everything should be fine... Well, this isn’t easy to explain in text but I’ll try…

When I try to add dimensions to the other parts in the assembly therefore allowing for the external models to alter the length of the centre line it flags up a problem and doesn't allow the smart dimension to work. Please help! I am having difficulty with this,
