Mechanism menu: Kinematic Elements toolbar
Contents
Mechanism menu and Contextual toolbars
The kinematic and machine elements that you add to a Mechanism-Editor become the 'bones' of the machine model. To add 'flesh' over the 'bones' you will need to add 'Solids'.
| • | Use the kinematic-elements to build the basic kinematic-chains with simple 'kinematic-pairs' |
| • | Use the machine elements to add more function parts to the model to transform motions with complex 'kinematic-pairs'. |
| • | Nearly all of the elements are projected onto the Mechanism-Plane of the Mechanism-Editor. |

Note: you can use the commands that are in the Model-Editor also in an active Mechanism-Editor.
The Mechanism menu is a sub-menu of the Add menu.
Mechanism toolbars
The Mechanism toolbar has become two toolbars: Kinematic Elements toolbar and Machine-Elements toolbar.
The two toolbars are to the left of the Mechanism-Editor's graphic-area.
