Using two axis to angle a part in an assembly.

I'm trying to assemble tracks onto a sprocket and to do so I found where the axis of the pins would lie. I placed them all round the sprocket and continued to add the tracks. The issue is once I constrain the first axis, I can't get the second one to constrain creating the needed angle, it just errors out. I found a solution, making a plane between the two axis and constraining the bottom of the track to that, but if at all possible I want to avoid doing so due to wrapping it around the body later.

Axis A on the first track won't constrain to axis A after already being constrained to axis B.Axis A on the first track won't constrain to axis A after already being constrained to axis B.

Hi, I'm not very clear on what you're trying to do. If you want to restrict axis with axis, you should make sure that the distance between pairs of axes is exactly the same in the components, otherwise it will not let you perform the restriction, if you want to add an angle, maybe you should not do the next axis axis restrictions but otherwise, in any way it would be better if you could share the example, or show some more images to better understand the problem, greetings !!

Attach assembly with only sprocket and two one links here.

This will be an easy one to solve.

I actually found another way to do it thanks to YouTube. For some reason it never occurred to me to use pattern... Thanks for the reply though.
