Assembly - Slide specific part up and down

thomas_ritter031

Hi all,

I very new to CAD onshape and working on my first project that I also want to build in real then. It´s a chickenfeeder. So far everything is working very good, but the one part I dont get to slide the correct way.

I´ve got a little screencast here attached.

Link to my document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7e8d79610f75fa19b7ab959b/w/d4d5105aff0906d3f5d1e90f/e/6ad200a4bf32e4c2506e343c?renderMode=0&uiState=664afad9684f1d116b16db14


Can somebody tell me how to do it or give me a hint please?  


Best,
Thomas

Ah.  Then you could add a fillet to the bottom of the window to make it round and then add a Tangent mate.  Or if you don't want the window to be rounded, add a hidden round surface and use that for the Tangent mate.

You could change the design to use a Pin-Slot.

Thanks, would be possible, yes, but thats not how I would build in then in the future, because its enough that it gets pushed by the stick. No need for extra geometry to get it function  

So its not possible to simulate it like this in onshape?

Thanks, but thats not exactly what I want, because I would not build it like that then. I added now one missing feature that ensures that the window cant fall out:


I got the idea from here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYzppQIstYw) and I want to build it like this.

ahh, yeah, very nice. Added the filet and did it with the tangent mate. thanks you very much
