Importing a body and adding constraints without a sketch

Post by gwfami »

I've got an .stl file that I imported and converted to a shape. Since the part has no sketch to set the constraints on, how do I set the constraints on the just created shape so that I can use the animation and kinetics in the A2plus workbench?

or just use Macro_Animator
(or any other scripted way to animate, there are plenty of them out there)
