Thank you. We try our best to keep it simple and to the point. Thanks for watching!

Great tutorial and exactly what I was looking for. One thing to mention is I believe you need to have external references in the systems options switched on for this to work.

[@dominikgmeiner]

thank you for showing me this work around !

[@Capt_Nirox]

Not what I wanted but exactly what I needed

[@guilemaigre14]

I have a question. I am trying to do that but for cam selector (don't if that is how it called) in a sequential gearbox.
The thing is that the slot is around a tree. I don't know if it is also possible to do that in that case.
EDIT : i manage to do it with a 3DSketch, ALL IS FINE. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TUTORIAL !

Thanks for watching!

[@aerospaceengineering5940]

Please Help. My part will follow the path (arc) that i want it but it will exceed the path and continue following the whole circle of the arc that i sketched(I trimmed the excess part of the circle which i tend not to use already). Do you have any idea on whats wrong and how to solve?

[@skycrapperful]

choose open loop in your selection manager tab before you select the path
