Use the Drive Constraint tool on the context menu to simulate mechanical
motion by driving a constraint through a sequence of steps. Right-click the
constraint in the browser and then enter information in the Drive Constraint
dialog box to define the drive constraint and to control motion.
Constraints may limit the motion of parts. Depending on the geometry,
degrees of freedom are removed or restricted. For example, if you apply a
tangent constraint to two spheres, all six degrees of freedom remain, but you
can’t translate one of the spheres in just one direction.
