      Hi all,

      I want to move an object in x-direction and then without rotating i want to move it in y-direction. Say like an 'L' movement, but without rotating at the corner. This cant be done with two pistons ofcourse. Can anyone please help me to solve this.

      Thanks in advance
      Niyah

        I am not into SketchyPhysics but you should place your object onto another object, then you put a slider for the extra object and slider for your object. You first move the extra object and then you move your object which will be related to the extra object.

          I have provided an example. The top box and piston are first connected to each other and then made into a group. The bottom box is then attached to both the bottom piston and the top piston. This can get cumbersome but one can nest probably 5 deep to theoretically allow control of rotations as well as tranlations.
