Editing the Gravity

Edit Gravity allows you to edit the gravity force applied to a mechanism and accounted for when playing the mechanism.

To edit gravity, you can:

  • turn it on and off
  • reverse its orientation
  • specify a direction according to the mechanism orientation
  • change its value.


Before you begin: Open an assembly containing a mechanism
  1. To activate the gravity, select the Activate Gravity check box in the dialog box.
  2. Specify the values of gravity for each axis.

    Note: To reset the default values, click Default Values.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Gravity appears as a 3D arrow in the 3D area. To hide it, clear the Display Gravity option in the App Options panel.
