This is an extremely complicated problem and it will never act like a chain unless you use Move with physical dynamics to drive it. Your best bet is to draw a solid or a path that you can link a point on each link to. More than likely a concentric…

yer i did this. I want it to act like a chain so everylink follows the path.

Do you need this to act like a chain or can it be rigid? If so your best bet is to make this as a part. Draw two links(inner and outer) then a path and create a curve driven pattern. Regardless of how you do this you will need a sketch or edge for…

Can you share as what are you up to. May be looking the files lighten up some bulb on the head. ;)

Why?? You create assembly of few links. Now you can insert that as many times as you need and then using fewer mates, attach them all.

Yer hey i have tried this but does still not solve the main problem of having to repeat like a hundrud plus mates for all the links of the chain. Seems like an uneccessary task to me.. dont know how to go around it.

You can insert an assembly into an assembly. So inserted assembly is called sub assembly and assembly in which the sub assembly is inserted is called main or top level assembly. So a subassembly and then you can insert several of those in main or…

okay sounds good how do you make sub assembly?

Deepak Gupta replied to Andrew babbage's discussion 'Coping of parts with mate relationships'

How about making a sub assembly and then use few of them to make a final full assembly

I have figured out how to use copy with mates however it does not allow copying of mechanical mates. Is there a way around this ????

Andrew, not sure if I can be of much help but I would suggest you to please post these queries under Help section on the forum and not on the blog section. Please move delete both your blog posts and move/add them in the Help section. Thanks.
