I am trying to constrain a pipe so that it does not just rotate in a hole, but with no luck. I've tried a couple different constraints, mostly i thought it would be with the angle one, but i get errors on most of what i try with it, and when i dont get an error, well, it doesnt work. Anyone have any suggestions for this? I know that in IV your suppossed to design it like you would build it, so I even tried using a weld connection on it, but it didnt work.
Thanks
 
Constrain one pair of the planes or axes of the parts that are perpendicular to the rotation axis.
 
Thanks! I didn't know I could constrain an objects axes/planes.
