How to I constrain to this weird shape?

Hey there! I'm pretty new to inventor and I need to constrain a screw to only be able to move inside this stadium shaped hole. How could I do this? I've tried some tangential constrains but it's not enough.

Hi

There are many ways.
Transitional, tangential, or mate constraint of construction elements (workplanes and axes).

You can set the minimum and maximum distance from the axis of cylinder to the hole symmetry plane for Mate.

Another option - is to enable the mode "Activate Contact Solver" on the Inspect tab, and set "Contact Set" option by right-clicking for these two parts.
