Assembly Constraints for Pin in a Slot 2

thread561-336586

There are many old threads out there asking if this can be done and I'm hoping that since 2014 NX has hopefully added this feature in some way but I'm coming up empty. I don't have license access but would this be something available in the Motion Application?

I'm currently using NX 11 Mach 1 Design and Simcenter Structures.

This can be done in NX11 using a distance Constraint - you can set a range for the Distance from Max to Min

Thanks @joycejo! That's exactly what I needed!

Here's an "NX Quick-Tip" video which explicitly covers the use of the "Driven Assembly Constraint".
