Hello, everyone. What kind of constraints do I need to use to slide the blue compass along the gray tube?

thanks and hello

Transitional bond, which then never works as you want.
However, even David copperfield would be able to turn that bushing on that tube, so I wonder: "Why waste time with a mechanically unrealized complexion? "

because I need it as an example. It's certainly not a feasible set, but using more solidworks, I can't figure out how to make him make the path invented to the compass.

This evening when I arrive at the office, I will try with the transitory bond.

Thank you and hello.

However, it does not flee.

inventor on certain things is back to solidworks.

do two sketch points on the axis of the compass coincide with the two flat faces or anyway two points on the axis and symmetrical regarding the symmetry plane of the compass.

make a curve coincident with the axis of the tube

the bussula on the curve with two constraints of coincidence each between one of the two points and the curve itself.

I do not use inventor but I do not think it is impossible even if I see it:

if by chance you can't make the curve or it is not usable with the ties of asses make an extruded surface from the profile of the axis of the tube then bind the compass with the two points on the surface and a third constraint between a plane of the compass and that on which lies the axis of the tube to maintain the alignment of the compas along the path. Finally hide the surface.

I think it's just that we find the support geometry to use to make the acrocco work.
