TOP-TIP #1
When you start using MotionDesigner, it is easy accidentally design a motion with a very short-segment that you cannot see in the graph, and that you do not know or want in your motion.
To see if there is a very short segment,
1.Open the Blend-Point Editor or the Segment Editor
2.Click the Next button, to move the Selected-Segment across the complete motion.
If the Blend-Point number increases by 1, but you cannot see the Selected-Segment in the motion graphs, then you have found a very short segment.
3.Click the Delete Segment button to remove the very short segment
TOP-TIP #2
On paper, plan you motion over one machine-cycle before you begin with MotionDesigner.
From your plan, you should:
1.Know if the motion is a progressive or non-progressive motion (indexing type, or Rise and Return type)
2.Know how many segments you need in your motion - over a full machine cycle.
3.Approximate the positions of each Blend-Point.
