Hi there,
I hope someone can help. I have a solidworks assembly which I ultimately want to drive from data from a sensor. How do you suggest I go about this?
I have atempted to use the softmotion toolbox and have figured out how to move a solidworks assembly by driving an axis with line/arc/setpoint VI. This was ok except I could only specify one movement before having to reset the "execute" operator. Ideally I should be able to slide a sliding control on the front panel and the solid works model moves accordingly but I can't seem to do this.
To get around the communications issues and after getting frustrated I tried to save a solidworks model as a VRML file and tried ot input this but to no avial...
I have looked at the example on labview titled "Robot Simulator LV85" where different joints can be controlled by sliding controls on the front panel. Is this model generated within labview itself or is it imported. What file format is the data file?
Is anyone able to give me and indication on how to attempt this as currently I am a bit lost!
Thanks very much!

You can use LabVIEW to read VRML file then display it using 3D picture control.
Here are some good examples.
