SOLIDWORKS - Cam Slot Path Mate

[@snakedike]

Great tutorial and exactly what I was looking for. One thing to mention is I believe you need to have external references in the systems options switched on for this to work.

Awesome tutorial, no wasted time, quick, easy, and has nice examples as to why a workaround is needed. Great tut4sure

I have a question. I am trying to do that but for cam selector (don't if that is how it called) in a sequential gearbox.
The thing is that the slot is around a tree. I don't know if it is also possible to do that in that case.
EDIT : i manage to do it with a 3DSketch, ALL IS FINE. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TUTORIAL !

This is very useful. Can you tell me on how to use both these mates in motion study.

[@Capt_Nirox]

Not what I wanted but exactly what I needed

[@aerospaceengineering5940]

Please Help. My part will follow the path (arc) that i want it but it will exceed the path and continue following the whole circle of the arc that i sketched(I trimmed the excess part of the circle which i tend not to use already). Do you have any idea on whats wrong and how to solve?

[@skycrapperful]

choose open loop in your selection manager tab before you select the path

The only reason I subscribed is because you didn't ask me to. Great Work.
