If you make a joint with a slider, is it possible to slide with a guiding line, i tried, but only horizon and vertical ways, it doesn't understand bending? Is that posibble?

@manomano74 you can't get a joint that follows a straight then curved path so far as I know. You can however turn on "Enable All Contact" under the Joints menu and manually shift the components - helps if one of them (in your case the pipe) is "Grounded" first. This isn't very useful but if all you need to do is capture some positions for images or drawings then it could work. Would be quite fiddly though and there needs to be enough wiggle room between the two objects and would help if there are enough constraints to stop it getting twisted and the likes....

 

This would be a good submission for the IdeaStation (if there wasn't one already - something like "Sliding Joints along Path"
