How to make this constrain/joint in Fusion 360?

Hi!
I am trying to make this Barrel Assembly, I can make it in Inventor with a transitional constraint but do not know how to do it in Fusion 360.
Thank you.

Use cylindrical Joint.
But, you need to calculate the relative movement between the joints to work perfectly.

Hi João de Carvalho, I think my solution to your question, if I understand it right, is simply create a motion link between the spinning barrel and the "tracker".
You have to know the pitch of the spiral of the slot on the barrel, let's assume it to be 10 mm for example.
When you create the motion link, set the sliding motion to 10 mm : 360 degrees.
That will set the corresponding movements between the 2 components, the slider moves 10 mm, the barrel makes 1 revolution.

I have attached my file to explain myself clearer.
I hope it helps.
