Limiting Motion in assemblies

[rdodanwela]

Hi

Is it possible to limit movement of parts in assembly files. A simple example is a linear bush on a shaft. The bush will have a concentric constraint with the shaft and possibly a planar constraint to stop rotation. The shaft will be grounded and I want to constrain the linear motion of the bush (along the shaft axis) so that it can only move 100mm (for example) from one end of the shaft. The shaft will, of course be about 200mm long.

BTW: I am using Inventor Suite 2009

Any help will be greatly appreciated
