You can run Animation and Motion Analysis motion studies for layout sketch mechanisms you create from sketch blocks.

1. Create the layout sketch mechanism, editing Mass Properties in the Block PropertyManagers as necessary.
   Note: Mass properties are used only for motion calculations in Motion Analysis studies.
2. Create a motion study for the layout sketch.
   Note: Constraints you apply in the layout sketch appear as mates in the motion study. You cannot edit these mates.
3. Add motion study elements, such as forces or motors, as necessary.
   Note: You cannot add contact between layout sketch blocks.
4. Select either Motion Analysis or Animation and run the motion study.
