Slider and Cylinder connections missing translation...

[jellis-2]

I am performing a basic slider connection between two parts, which I have done many times before, and I don't have the option to add my translation limits. I am able to apply my axis alignment, and rotation constraints but the option for adding my translation does not exist. The 3D dragger shows that my only remaining degree of freedom is translation along the axis but I don't have the option to set the limits for it, which also gives me the error for connection definition being incomplete. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Here is a screen shot of the connection options.

Hello Jacob,

From screenshot you have sent , I can see that however you have applied both the constraints Axis alignment Rotation, but your connection status shows"Connection definition is incomplete". This may have happened due to improper selection of references.

The option to restrict the translation movement for your slider mechanism will appear only when your connection status is complete or you have successfully defined your connection.

If you could send the files , I can give it a try.

Shashi.
