Animating a four bar mechanism
am having problems constraining everything so that it opens and closes perfectly. im quite new to maya and am getting quite confused. everytime i move something, another part flies off at a stupid angle. i want to be able to rotate one bar and the others move and rotate accordingly. i cant just rotate, so i tried using joints, but this doesnt seem to work
can anyone help??????please!!!

Basically, just don't use joints and group or parent everything, then move your pivot point to where you want it to rotate at. You can reselect the group by selecting an object in the group, then pressing the up arrow key or by selecting it in the outliner (Windows>Outliner)
