Hi everyone.
Would it be possible to set up this cable chain?
In fact, rather than inserting a new link each time and having to constrain it, I would like to be able to choose the number of links to insert and that they are automatically constrained.
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to your problem
You must at least have already made an assembly with x links
and if necessary after raising the extra links
which from + is if they have to be constrained to + via a curve

Thank you for your answer.
That's what I told myself as well.
The problem is that if I constrain them in relation to a curve, it means that I lose mobility between the links
Hello, maybe a beginning of a solution here?

What strength be with you.
not to constrain your links of your assembly on a curve
Just create on a sketch
a straight line whose extremities stops at the axis of these said links
and it is the points of this line that you will constrain on this said curve
then you hide this sketch

Thank you for your help, I'll see what I can do.
Hello
I advise you to use the "copy with constraints" function, which allows you to add a link in a few clicks!

I was going to perform the same answer as PL when I came across it. If you want to keep constraint, you have to copy it with constraint! Or create a link insertion macro (but it doesn't seem to me to be wise to save you time in the immediate future)
