Hello, I am currently designing a tambourine in Creo, when attatching the cymbals to a rod in the assembly I have cylinder constrained them. The problem I am having is that the cymbals are overlapping as they move along this rod - is there a way of constraining the cymbals to not overlap with each other as they move? The cymbals can all theoretically occupy the same space, I just don't want them to at the same time, any help on this would be greatly apprecfiated - cheers!

Hi,

how did you assemble "cymbals" ? Can you zip+upload your assembly ?

You will need to put movement limits in the connection definitions:

Does that fix the problem of items overlapping though, if both cymbals are free to move up the entitrety of the rod then surely they can still both be in the same place at the same time?

I was suggesting you have a cylinder connection between the cymbals such that they cannot occupy the same space... It's not realistic to have both able to move the entirety of the rod.
