Move a sketch constrained at two points along a spline.

This is a simplified version of what I am trying to do, but If I can get this to work I should be able to scale it up.

Program: Autocad 2021 in 2D model space

I am trying to move a block along a spline to show different orientations. As soon as I constrain two points of the block with coincident constraints to the spline object it no longer moves. Any suggestions would be helpful. I can move the block freely along the spline when one corner/ point of the block is constrained.

I have the same issue if I just use a a sketched shape instead of a block.

Without seeing your geometry and constraints, it's hard to tell what the problem is.

If I'm left to guess, you may have over-constrained your geometry.

Something else to consider is how you used the coincident command. you need to start the command and select from the command line and select the object first, then select your points.
