Thats great, but the parent constraint acts weird sometimes. You can set all of that up exactly the way shown, and it will work...until it decides not to. The parented object will appear in another area of the scene or some other strange, unpredictable behavior will happen

[@oneway9984]

True. Without animation it's working fine, but with animation get lost position, I don't know how to fix that problem.

[@errorcode88.mp3]

Your keyframes are the culprit go to the position coordinates of your object and right click delete track

what if you have a magic tube with 27 pieces and you want to animate properly 3 horizontally and 3 vertically like the real thing.. Does this method apply ?

[@Coroconogka]

When timeline start at beginning a move object still place on the same position as end of timeline after animation. How do I move an object at the start to the same position as after animation?
