LDCad OR LDD- How to adjust length of linear actuators

[Roland Melkert]

In LDCad the easiest way is to put a shortcut (e.g. 61927) into your model, and then..

while selected, right mouse button -> 'reorganize' -> 'move to submodel.'
double click the new submodel instance of the actuator, to edit that submodel.
Select it again
Right mouse button -> 'reorganize' -> 'inline'
Select the outer (metal rod) piece and move it to the needed position (using the editing pin in move mode 'm').
Go back to the main model continue editing use nested mode to (re)adjust the rod if needed etc.

This approach ensures the actuators acts like as a normal part when used from the main model.
