Sets general joint properties for a screw or a worm gear joint.

Access:

In the Dynamic Simulation browser, right-click a screw or a worm gear joint, and select Properties. Click the General tab.

These parameters define joint vectors in the graphics window. The vectors are expressed in the joint coordinate system . The joint coordinate system is the one from the first component selected for joint insertion.

Suppress joint	Suppresses the joint so that it is not considered in subsequent simulations . By default, the joint is active.
Type	Displays the joint type. You cannot change this value.
Display	Displays force and torque vectors in the graphics window. When you select the joint in the browser, the joint coordinate system appears in blue in the graphics window. Force shows the force vector. Torque shows the torque vector. Scale adjusts the size of the vector in the graphics window. Use this option to make the entire vector visible. The default is 0.01. Color opens the Microsoft Color dialog box so that you can select a color for the vector.
