Feature Request: Curved Slot Joint/Mate

Hi Fusion Team,

I wanted to know if there was a native way in Fusion to confine a pin within a curved slot. I am aware there is a Pin-Slot joint, but it seems to only work in linear motion, and not account for curved slots as shown in the video. I've used a tangent relationship with the pin and slot face to mimick what I hope your team can implement natively within fusion. Even with Contact Sets enables the pin does not correctly move along the slot and stay confined within the slot. See attached video for rerence.

Two Assembly Constraints will do the job for you.  Take a look at the video.  I have also attached the model I used.  Looking at your video, you only seem to be missing the "All Faces" check mark but the video is very small so I may be mistaken.
