Constraining Reel Thread

Hi,

I have installed the coolOrange thread modeler to try out.

1. How do you constrain the 2 threaded parts together?

2. Only 1/2 of the thread length from part-2 will be constrained inside part-1

Files are Inventor 2018

Regards

Zac

I will first refer to the following YouTube video which describes the fastest way to had a Rotational-Translation assembly constraint for threads. Then I hope you will take a look at my Screencast showing you the motion of your assembly. I have attached the assembly and parts in a zip file. The files are in Inventor 2018 format.
