Creo Mechanism using general connection. This video explains how to do implement this type of connection.

Thank you for your answer. It is different from what I requested. This video does not change the trajectory in the form of a slot.
Like the linked video, I would like to implement a mechanism that changes the trajectory.
Take a closer look at the video

To control the slot trajectory, you may find this technique useful. This sketch allows the links to unfurl as a function of the linear actuator. It uses a perimeter dimension to hold the length of the connected links constant when modifying the sketch.

It's an interesting demo! My guess is to use a bunch of pin connections with tight min and max constraints on the angles. I'm not familiar with how a cableveyor works in real life. What's the mechanism for making it behave the way it does? Is it just the constraints on the angles in the links, or is there something else?

I thought it was an interesting challenge, so I made one. This is done in Creo 7. Sorry about the horrendous video quality. I'm not that familiar with the video export settings in Creo, and most settings didn't give me a playable video at all.
