how do you put constraints to the mechanism? For example how can you make the ball to move inside a cone of 12 degrees? Of course the tip of the cone should be the datume point used for the definition of the ball mechanism.

Hi

The option you are asking is in CREO (cone of 12 degree)

Also the same can be achieved in Earlier version with 2 pin connection with one dummy part
