dificult mate

(OP)
first of all I´m spanish and sorry for my english. I have the following question: I have a problem with this mate, I want that the rectangle part goes along the path,but outside the path, no inside, is a spline that I have extruded, the relations are: cam relation between a point of each cilinder (the part that goes along the path is formed by two cilinders that are merged to a rectangle extruded) and coincidence between the surface of the cilinders and the surface of the path-belt, when I move the part, it goes along the path but sometimes goes inside and others outside, it depends of the movement of the mouse, wich relation i have to add to get the part (rectangle) always follow the path outside

RE: dificult mate

I believe this will work:
Create a sketch in the center of the rectangle.
Create an offset sketch of the spline whose distance is equal to the length of the center sketch of the rectangle. In the assembly, mate the sketch endpoint to the offset sketch.
