Hi
I was wondering what the best way to make a rotation constaint in Max is.
I have 2 gears that are perpendicular to eachother and want them both to rotate by only animating one.

script? linking?

Thanks

wire parameters!!
right click on an object and u ll see the menu...or in the animation menu
then choose the parameter(rotation in ur case)
click the next object....u can also have both ways if u want.

Alternatively you could link them to a dummy object... This is a little cleaner and allows you to still have individual control over each gear if you need to...
