The shaft protrudes through a plate that has an opening to guide along
a path as it spins.
The shape of the path is irregular. How do I constrain the shaft of
the path.
Thank you
Michael

Hi Michael
your guidepath must be a spline, create a referencepoint (not a sketchpoint) on the spline. Use along curve distance. In the assembly constrain the point and the centeraxis of the shaft.
Have a look at my sample
