    Newby question here - Ive spent all day trying to get a camera to animate
    along a path in SWX 2008. The path is just a simple circular sketch above
    an assembly and Im trying to mate the camera to the path so that it always
    points at the assembly below in the centre of the circular sketch.

    Any clues?

    A camera can be made to stay on a vertex, stay pointed at a point or
    vertex, and stay oriented w.r.t. a face. The faces or vertices or
    points can be on the camera sled or on any component or assembly
    sketch.

    I use a camera sled with sketched lines extending past the solid
    portion to be used as camera targets.

    Thnaks for the tip. Looks like another day of attempting to get SWX to
    behave itself.
