Movement along tracks/paths and telescoping as joint options

Movement along tracks/paths and telescoping as joint options

There isn't currently a set up for moving an object along a curved track/line. There is also no means to have a curved object telescope.

This is also something i'm missing very much...

 

If I have a springed part (a curve plastic part made 20mm long at neutral length) and when in assembly the distance between the joints the part needs to joint to is 25mm... I have NO way of joint this part..., theres no 'along lines' joint (with rotational freedom) and there is no normal mates in fusion 360... so how?

Please allow for chaining line segments.

Has anyone figured out a solution for this? As Coscor_NPL says above, it does not seem that there is currently a way to create a joint for a telescoping curved shape to rotate along the defined radius of that axis? (versus telescoping parts moving along a planar axis)

@Anonymous I don't know what "telescoping" means in the CAD context, but maybe this is covered by Curved Slider Joint entry?

 

That entry has a great description imho and it might be best if upvotes get aggregated there.

 

The telescope thing might be a completely different thing, I don't know. We should always try to place only one thing per entry, to help managing them. @Anonymous
