slider mate help

I'm going to try to keep this short. I designed a Hydraulic cylinder for a job I'm doing, it has a 4" stroke, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can make it automatically return to a resting position at 2" after its moved. Thanks in advance!

    You can right click the mate within the assembly, and hit the Reset button. It will reset the mates position back to it's default. Also you could set up named positions, this would let you quickly switch between different positions.
