Gimbal Constraint

I have a problem with the gimbal constraint.
No problem to connect the 2 screeds but as soon as I add the crossbar, nothing moves.
What's the trick?
SW Corps is clever, he puts online (in the knowledge base S-035090) an example but without the crosspiece...!

Attached is my test base (SW17).

Thank you

Hi Stefbeno

I solved my problems of stress via sketched axis lines and coincidences of endpoints

That you can hide afterwards

the constraints of the gimbal on SW

it's once again smoke and mirrors ;-)

Hello

You just have to remove the "cardan" constraint and connect all the parts properly :)
At home it works well!

It was just a matter of testing but I see that we all have the same problem...

I validate @Michael's answer for the humorous note.
