Keeping components parallel / mirror joins

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 21:32:18 GMT

Dipping by first toe into Fusion. I'm quite confident with 3D rendering, but CAD is a completely different beast.

I've a super simple modell looking like the attached image. 6 pieces joined with revolute joins at each end.

However, I want to keep the top and bottom bar parallel at all times. E.g if I drive the leftmost join, the rightmost should mirror that and thus keep the top parallel to the bottom. I've tried adding motion links but alas without luck and my google skills is failing me.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Add a Slider - As Built Joint between top and bottom pieces, for the vertical direction.

Might help....

Thank you Dave! Excellent! Needed to ground the bottom bar as well.
