Problem with Grab Component--object gets detached when moving anchor point

Question

Hi, I am having trouble with moving around the anchor point. I did use Grab component and set its strength to 1000, but whenever I move the anchor point, there becomes another anchor point that is not anchored to the point I set, and the entire objects and the string falls down to the direction of the load vector. What am I doing wrong? Because of this issue, I am having trouble simulating tensile structure in later lecture as well. Please help! Thank you.

Hi Jee!
Try setting the Strength value for the Grab component much higher, like 10000 or 50000. The problem is that the default Strength value for the Anchor component is set to 10000. So you're competing with that value if you try to drag the point.
You could also lower the strength value of the Anchor component to 1000 or even 100. 
Let me know if this worked,
Good luck!
