Problems with relations and motion between two objects

[marlene.haindl]

Hey there,

I have a problem with the motion and relations of some plates I added to a cabinet I designed. I added the plates and started to place a hinge which should be attached to the back and the plate and should move max. 90°. I thought I added all the necessary relations but when I try to move it, the objects move freely without any relations. What am I doing wrong here? 

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Marlene

Here is your model.  You had the top level assembly grounded which does not do anything.  I create component CASE from the existing body and grounded it.  Corrected some joints in the hinge and added limits of 0 to 90 degrees.  Since you did not have any hinge locating holes, I used As Built Joints.  Model is attached.

Hey John,
Thank you very much. Unforntunately, now all the other parts of the cabinet move freely, when I want move them. I couldn't find out how to fix that, as you created the right joints last time I got stuck on this model. What can I do to fix that?
Thank you in advance!

No I did not see your post to me.  In the future, send me a Private Message and I will be sure to see your post.  I assembled the unit as I remember it using the last model I sent to you which is attached to message 2.  You will not be able to drag any or all of the final motions so you will have to use the "Drive Joint" command.  The attached Screencast will show you how on the four joints I have left visible.  Fully open model is attached.
