Pin-slot movement

ricardo_raimondo

I have this flap that I want to have a displacement back and down, with the two pins moving in the curved slots. However, to start my headache, with just one pin with a tangent mate, two things happen: If I fix the slotted part, nothing will move. If I unfix it, then I can displace the pinned part back and forth which makes the other piece to move up and down, but it will not rotate around the pin. I guess for the same reason, when I try to add another tangent mate to the other pin, it shows as fail (red font).
I will appreciate any help.

Insert the sketches of on and slot including the path of the slot to the assembly and mate them together by using the tangent mate. Fasten the pin on the sketches. A very rare case where more then one Mate feature is needed. An example doc here:

Thank you. I will try that procedure.
