Moving two slides simultaneously in parallel

[harold.hebert]

I just switch from Inventor to Fusion 360 and I cant find an assemble joint to make the two slides to move together in parallel. Slides bases are well aligned. see attached picture.

@harold.hebert - use Motion Link to relate two joints' motion together:

Select both sliders, and define any ration in their motion (I assume 1:1 in this case).  If you post your design here, we can illustrate with a screencast

@jeff.stratersolution is great.  Here is another using normal joints.  Since the two bearings are parallel you can set up a planar relationship between two identical faces.  Take a look at the screencast.

By the way, please include your model next time you ask a question.  It saves us having to build a model to answer your question.  You will get an exact answer and it will probably be more accurate and quicker.

Many thanks. I could do it also with previous answer with motion link but with joints distances adjustments. Your method is easier. I will find the way to submit my drawing in my next query.
