Now for contraints there are plenty of them. There are some to make an object follow a path, and another to make an object contantly point its pivot axis at another object. But what i think you're looking for is the constraint that attaches one object to another. That would be the link constraint. Its located in the main toolbar>animation>constraints>link constraint.

I will tell you this though, i find that a lot of people coming from using inventor to 3ds max try to make all their models exact to every little detail. You must realize that your dealing with 3ds max and your final product will only be viewed from one camera angle. So the little detail that you put into it that is never seen, will be a wasted effort and time

Thanks this helped a lot
