Design Animation Overview

Design Animation > Design Animation Overview

The Design Animation Help describes the procedure of capturing the movement of a model in an animation that can be manipulated and exported to other programs. It offers information about taking snapshots of a model in motion and then creating and working with the resulting key frame sequences until the animation plays as required. Refer to these help topics for information on using the Design Animation environment, tools, and techniques. For a detailed overview, skim the Help contents.
