Notes:

When you save a model with MechDesigner > File menu > Save or Save as, we save two files with the same name but with different file-extensions. The:

•CXL file is for the MechDesigner model

•MTD file is for the motions in MotionDesigner

You can also save motions with:

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

•MOTIONDesigner > File toolbar > Save Active Motion ... to save one motion to a 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 as a new motion, to then experiment with different motion-values.

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