has anyone tried to use the chain tool over the design accelerator session (the 6th tool, the last "subtool")?
I can't make the chain itself, everytime I try only the sprockets with a line where the chain should be appear...has anyone made the chain itself through there?
thanks

I don't think the chain tool actually makes chain. Our team tried it on Inventor 10. Just a small hint: chain can be made out of a simple belt with a sketch embossed and cut out on it http://i11.tinypic.com/446nszs.gif.
