I am trying to put together an small animation of a component or assembly spinning round and export it as an mpeg but can't seem to get my head round the way unigraphics wants to work. I am used to using lightwave as my animation tool but this is nothing like it!

Any help very much appreciated. : )

The way I used to do it was by capturing a series of tif renderings and using a movie making tool (Adobie Premier or Flash for example) to "sew" the images into an animation.

actually, there is a much more simplier sollution: I use a program called camtasia studio, which makes great screen captures (movies and pictures) and video editing. i've made many presentasions with it...
 
Thanks for your help. Is there nothing within UG that will allow me to set a path for the model to follow and then just render it as a animation file?
