DRIVE TWO CONSTRAINTS AT ONCE again!

[Anonymous]

With Animator running in the left pane you should see all of your
constraints. One of them (you'll have to determine which) will control
cyl#1 position and another will control #2. Pull these into the right hand
pane and then set the start and end positions. Group them together (with
the group function). One will go from 1 to 10 while the other is going from
10 to 1.

Then run it.

Let me know if you have any other problems.

Are the cylinders sub-assemblies? This answer was based on the assumption they
are NOT sub's.
If you ARE using the cylinders as a sub-assembly, you have to first make them
adaptive in the main assembly. Then they should show up. You should re-name them
something unique in the parameters dialog (not just browser) to help find them.

If you want to drive to subs as apaptive you need two copies of the
subassembly on your harddrive and in the assembly. A sub can only be
adaptive once in the top level assembly.

Oh yeah...You'll have to use DA to copy and rename the assembly. Then re-insert
and re-constrain. Then RMB-->Adaptive on second.
