Parallel Joint

Anonymous

I'm trying to creat a parallel joint within my assembly that doesn't restrict a planer offset. I have a piece that flaots in a pin/slot joint vertically and i want to keep that piece parallel to the base plate. I've tried every joint i can, but I keep getting conflicting errors. (see attached pic)

 

The pin in slot drives the distance, but allows the assy to rotate still, so I just need a Parallel only constraint... any thoughts?

That is not per-se a joint but a geometric constraint.

 

Fusion 360'sjoint system intends to work just a joints would work in the physical world.

At the curent moment there is nothing mechanically in your design that would prevent that part to pivot around the pin/shaft.

Once you've desinged that mechanical constraint you'll likely find that one of the available joints fits the bill perfectly.
