How do you create an Envelope?

[oneilldm]

I have assembly that I want to turn into an "Envelope" part.

I have my assembly open, I open the Envelope Manager, create New, select the components... and then I'm stuck.

Let's start with some more information.

What version of Wildfire are you using?
Are you using a PDM system for data management?

What are you trying to do with your envelope part?

Thanks for the reply.

It's wildfire 3

No PDM

This assembly has a lot of intricate, internal detail that I don't need. I just need the outer shell (envelope) so I can bring this assembly into a large layout.

Here is the PTC How To on creating envelope parts in WF3.
