drive constraints

(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to drive more than 1 component when using the drive constraint. I believe to drive additional constraints you have to use the equation tool, how do I do that.

RE: drive constraints

I don't have enough information from your post riggerdigger to help you as much as I'd like. But to answer one of your questions, the function tool (where you can type in equasions) is located on your toolbar and should look like this ---> fx

Sorry I couldn't be more help. Finding the button was probably the least of your worries. If you want to give more information about what you're trying to do specifically, I'll try to help out.

Good luck.
