Installing Orbisnap

You can obtain Orbisnap in one of two ways:

Simulink 3D Animation product -- Orbisnap is distributed with the Simulink 3D Animation for MATLAB^® and Simulink^®. The collection of Orbisnap files includes the Orbisnap executable file and supporting files. These files are located under the Simulink 3D Animation orbisnap directory (for example, <MATLAB root>\toolbox\sl3d\orbisnap). No further installation is necessary, but you might want to copy the Orbisnap files to another location. See Copying Orbisnap to Another Location.

Adding Shortcuts or Symbolic Links
