Appreciate all the insight guys. So I am thinking based on the size of the mechanism and ease of manufacturing, I would mill a slot with chamfered edges (top and bottom) in a plate. I would then use a carriage with two v-grooved concentric studs on one side, and a third in between those two on...
Hey guys,
I may be missing something which lead me to dismiss the use of a rail using bearings whose centerline axis is normal to the plane the rail deviates within.
Lets visualize a possible assembly as a railcar axle whose wheels have 90 degrees of positive camber. CMIIW, but don't railcar's...
I have a device which I was positioning with a THK Linear Guide and caged roller bearing. Now, the path is no longer linear, but has varying changes (The path may resemble an exponential curve possibly when done). It was suggested to remove the thk components and just mill a slot and develop an...

My first procedure:
1. Make cyl assy work part
2. 'Move Comp.' -> cyl rod -> Look for both to move.
None moved?
My second procedure:
1. Undo any changes
2. Override position as described
3. @ Top Level, 'Move Comp.'
Still nothing moved?
Thanks!

@ JohnRBaker,
So after setting my assembly prefs to make 'Move Component' visible, following the first procedure nothing happened to the rod? So, undoing what ever may have happened, I attempted the next procedure and again nothing happened?
Any ideas?
Thanks for the example.

I managed to get it working in NX5 but the Online docs for Variable Constraints are weak, and CAST doesn't have anything!
@ JohnRBaker
Do the GTAC guys have anything they can pass along for Variable Constraints? Examples would be great! A while ago, someone in GTAC gave me 3 pdf's...
I am having some issues with Variable Positioning relating to some sub assemblies. I have the following scenario:
1. Assembly of a shock absorber (consists of shock cylinder body w/ integral clevis and threaded shaft/piston components).
2. Assembly of a clevis pin (consists of clevis and...
