Joint and Contact Sets Help

[StephenBender]

I have the part below that I would like help creating proper movement for.  I have tried different joint and contact set combinations without success.  The lock should slide along the pins and then rotate.  Hopefully that is clear in when viewing the model.  Thanks.

The movement you are trying to simulate currently can only be done with contact set. So far so good.

However, if your assembly will be more complex, contact sets are a huge performance hog and chances are they start to slow down an assembly very quickly. For the most part, contact sets really only can be used in very simple situations. Otherwise they should be avoided.

That is the movement I'm looking for.  It works when I make a contact set with only the pin in the angled slot.  When I add the second pin to the second slot it stops working.  Thanks.

Thanks.  I appreciate the advice, but I cant get contact sets to work in this situation.  The lock will only move up and down.  It will not rotate.  Thanks.

Whats the Diameter of the pin? Whats the diameter of the slot guide?, maybe It's about tolerance @StephenBender, please check it out.

Reduce de Diameter in the pin a little bit and try, Let me know

 if you can, share your model to help you, to be more accurate

@Anonymous  Thanks.  I thought the link to the model was in the first post above the picture, but apparently I did that wrong.  Please try the link below.  The slot is .190 and the pins are .187.  I have tried with pins at .125 with the same behavior.
