new point on curve/edge constraint

new point on curve/edge constraint

the ability to set a constraint point on 2D/3D curve/edge. And curve should not be a single curve but connected segments tangent, not tangent only be coincident/connected.

helpful for analyzing complex motion without dynamic simulation environment!

other example assemble like the attached data set.

A new constraint type needs to be added that will allow the mating of a part or assembly to a path.

The current method  is Rube Goldberg-ish at best!! And quite frankly, it is a silly and embarassing 

way to accomplish mating to a path when compared to the way Solid Works Does it!

We must have the abilty to constrain a work point to a spline in a assembly or mate path constraint as it is know in solidworks. so for the company i work for and you know who we are we featured on the 2012 cover. We need to be able to pull a vehicle around a track this simply is not possiable with out this constraint.
