Jeff B Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 you know, just regular old chain with links, not roller chain. Are there any pre-existing symbols and if so where are they located, or is this a situation where one needs to create one's own? Thanks for any guidance. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) For 2d, draw a couple links, make it a symbol, duplicate along path. For 3d, model a link (eg 2d circle, 2d oval path, then extrude along path). Duplicate the link, rotate and move it so it links with the 1st one. Make them a symbol, DAP.

Jeff B Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks much Benson!! Just wasn't sure if there were pre-existing symbols out there, but this approach makes good sense. Thanks again. (Except I used the rounded rectangle tool to create the path object, worked great.) Oh, and ? and I knew better but I was "in a hurry!" ? I should have made one individual link a symbol before creating my other various length symbols - silly me Edited July 9, 2014 by Jeff B Quote Link to comment
