This type of constraint is availalble mostly for the management of mechanisms such as the rack-and-pinion steering, and to mate gears.
Improved in version 2015. See "New Mating".

The new Gear constraint enables you to apply one of the three following constraints:
which constrain the entities they are applied to to the type of movement indicated.
This type of constraint is availalble mostly for the management of mechanisms such as the rack-and-pinion steering, and to mate gears.
