How to make a joint on my camshafts

[goagoagoaq]

Hi,

I'm trying to design a basic camshaft to develop my knowledge about using joints in Fusion360.

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish

I can't find a way to use a joint to visualize the behavior of my valve.

I've had some partially interesting results using the "tangent relationship" but after rotating my (grounded) shaft the valve is loosing its position.

Thanks

You are missing a slider joint on the imagined valve rod and you also need to add a round end to it to effectively use the Tangent Relationship.  Model attached.

Edit: If you look at the model closely, you will see I used a sketch point to place the Slider Joint.
