Slot Constraint Help

I have two pneumatic cylinders or actuators connected together. I want to constrain them so they move in a circle. I created a sketch for the trajectory or "slot" I wanted them to follow, and I put a point on the part where I want to connect to the slot. Then it asks for the slot axis and I can't figure out what that's asking for. Any help on how to constrain these two actuators to follow the circle shown in the image?

Thanks

Christian,

If your sketched circle is a datum curve, select it for the slot axis. Your point should then follow it. You may need to select both sides of the circle.

Hope this solves your problem.
