How do you make a magnet joint?

I have seen several on the warehouse, but I still don't know how to make them. They are not documented, yet the program seems to accomidate them. What are they? How can I make the magnet joint?

Get one of the 3dwarehouse models and copy paste it into your model. Magnets are a half finished feature that never had a tool to add them.

Here's how to get the joints you wanted: in the"Sketchyphysics3" folder, find "JointTool.rb",MAKE A COPY JUST IN CASE, open it with Notepad, do a Ctrl+f, type in:

you do realise the posting date on this? he fixed this ages ago, 2 years to be precise. how many pages did you have to crawl through to find a problem you knew how to solve?
