Hi everyone,

I have successfully created an assembly with full of mechanisms constraints. It contains 3 cylinders.

1) For Rotating the member

2) Extending the member

3) Clamping the work (Jaw attached with the member)

But i couldnt use drag option and see how it ill work in real time. Since there are 3 cylinders which contains many pin constraints its trying to get collapsed. When i drag 1st cylinder the other two cylinders is also floating/moving which shouldnt move.

How to operate this like in real time. In a sequence without collapsing. Like 1st cylinder should extend and then 2nd and then 3rd...

I have constrained the stroke length of the cylinders also.

Guide me through this

This is really difficult to picture so you might attach some images or a video.

1,2,3 are cylinders enclosed inside supporting steel plates. Black circles are pivot points
