Learn NX: Design envelopes made easy

In this short tutorial you will learn how to use Animation Designer to create design envelopes to help illustrate what volumes moving parts will make. Creating design envelopes of mechanisms with multiple paths is challenging. The technique shown here makes creating complex envelopes easy. The goal of an envelope is to help designers avoid adding parts that may interfere. The software used here is Animation Designer inside of NX.

Wow! I did not realize that NX Animation Designer could do that. That Iterative Envelope command is super powerful. Thanks for the tip!
