Notes:

When you save a model:

•we use the CXL file-extension for the MechDesigner model

•we use the MTD file-extension, with the same file-name as the MechDesigner model, for the motions in MotionDesigner

You can also save one or all motions with:

•MOTIONDesigner > File toolbar > Save all as ... to save all of the motions to a different file-name.

•MOTIONDesigner > File toolbar > Save Active Motion ... to save one motion to a different file-name.

Why save a motion to a different file-name?

E.g.: If a motion-design is complex you may want to save a motion, then re-import it to experiment with different motion-values.

You can use the motion you re-import as the basis for a different product, size, format, or machine.
