Hi
I model a fold table as below
Table top are 2 pieces. they will connect by pin. When they fold, 2 pieces of table top will rotate same time.
Need advice to make Joint for 2 pieces of table top rotate same time.
P/s I could not share the file because privacy.
Thank
Travis
From file as supplied,
Needs 4 more joints,
Revolve on the 2nd Centre bar end,
Planar Joints on a left and right leg to the floor (root component)
and the Slider from Table Pin to floor, joint limit set 250 mm at the moment,
which makes it hard to click drag, however animates Ok with Animate the Slider joint.
Might help....
Hi @davebYYPCU
I misunderstand because It may lack of joints in these position
Could you upload your try.
I'm thinking about 2 pins slide up same time.
In that pic, the yellow circles already have joints, keep them, Yes both pins up, but just one joint so far
you need the ones in red as well,
When the table is folded, the spacer bar - same distance up keeps the legs on same angle,
If the legs must be vertical (early pic) when folded then you need another joint for that, must then be Motion Linked.

Hi @davebYYPCU
Very impress your try.
Can you share more detail about this joint, how to make it?
Thank
Travis
Planar Joint, (as built)
from Origin of file to centre point of bull nose leg cut.
Select - Rotate is Joint Y, and Slide is Origin X
Same for other leg.
Might help.....
Hi @davebYYPCU
Thank a lot, first time I know can joint with Origin.
I check the first sketch and add some constraint a below:
As you can see 2 legs are parallel.
However they will not parallel in Joint motion.
I see you set limit Slide 250. In stead of set limit. I created New contact set/ select 2 legs.
I think they will prevent them overlap.
Need advice to make 2 legs parallel.
Thank
Travis
