Re: Inventor Help

I am struggling with both chain and wires. I had XP SP2 and had to unstall it even to get any wiring to work. I think Inventor 8 pro is built of NT or somthing, beucase it donesn't work well with XP.

As far as chain goes, I found a thread about it that had a link to download real chain. But you must constrain it link by link and then find some way of putting it on you bot. I think that some shiny and bumpy band will do it. See How much more complicated yet better looking the real chain is?

On wires, I couldn't get real wires to route so I used segments to trace out the path then adjusted how they looked to take the place of wires.

I used the same painstaking method to make the rope we used on things
