contstraining makerslide(Inventor)
May 29, 2013 11:46PM
I have just finished modelling a bunch of makerslide components and am trying to figure out how to constrain them on inventor to make them move realistically. Specifically I am trying to get the V-wheel to line up with the groove on the rail. I have done many assemblies in the past but am unfamiliar with how to perform this task.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would create a Work Plane centered on the rail and one centered on the wheel then constrain those two. Then a tangent constraint on the wheel and the rail.

Great thanks, worked like a charm.
