Hi Dan:
Not sure how it happened, but in your project the small "spur" got set as master. SO nothing runs as that
master has no linakge. Open that project, select the Pinion gear you have named as Master. Right click that gear in the project tree and select "Set as Master". That will set it back as master. Hit simulate and youll find it all runs fine.
To find such a problem for future use, in your example, when I pressed run, only one gear on the screen turned, nothting else moved. So I clicked it in the tree so its selected. Looking to its Linkage list, I saw it had no linkage. Clicking on the other gears I could see they were linked fine. So I figured the ony way that coudl happen is if the moving gear was master. So I clicked the one you had labeled as master and set it so. All then runs.
I do find it annoying that its not listed what gear is master, so Im adding that for next release so its clear what gear is actually doing the driving..
Thx
Art
