Hi!
I'm trying to create a telescopic cylinder motion in Inventor, making the cylinders move together.
Like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C60eoR1Egs
Is this possible without using inventor studio? I can't figure out what constraint or joint to use.
I attached a test model, it would be great if someone has time to check it out.

Yes. In a case like this I'd constrain the overall stroke, name the constraint parameter (so I can find it!), then constrain the other cylinders in the same way, but using 1/3rd of the "OverallStroke" parameter as their offset.
In the attached, find assembly constraint called "DRIVE" and drive it.
Thank you for showing me this Peter. I can use this not only for the cylinder, but the whole elevator project i'm working on for university-college. I can post it here when it's finished.
Thanks again and greetings from Norway.

Glad it worked. Best of luck with your studies! Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
