How to constrain the shaft

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
