In-place mate relationship
In-place mate relationship
(OP)
hello,
I'm looking to add an In-place mate to a cable which I need to stretch like an elastic to conform to the various stages the objects will be in, The cable wraps around 2 - cylinders, one at each end, the cylinders distance btw each other varies, but the cable connecting the two cylinders does not follow the path of the change. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

In the assy, if you use a Layout Sketch to create the cable, and also to mate the cylinders, the cable should update when the cylinders are moved.
