Issue Setting Pin Through Axis and Coords

I'm new to Pro/E and am trying to build a simple fourbar linkage that rotates
a box 90 degrees. It's not a symmetrical rotation though. I've built all the
parts separately but am having trouble setting a pin joint for the link in the
assembly. The link is a straight segment with half circles on each end. I want
to pin the segment through the axis of the half circles and then through a
coordinate on the box but don't know how to do this. I realize this may not
be possible, what are my other options?

thanks,
 
You have to use similar features for this to work. Make a
datum axis on the box, through the csys and aligned in the
direction you want, and it should work fine.
