Using Cam-Follower Connections in Dragging Operations
Keep the following in mind when using cam-followers in Mechanism Design or Design Animation dragging operations:
Either one of the cam bodies in the follower connection may be dragged.
The connection and co-tangency between the two cams may be maintained, or they can separate and collide.
The cam-follower connection can be enabled or disabled, but cannot be locked. However, the bodies used to define the cams may be locked.
