      <p class="para_topic">The full power and capability of NX is available to you while collaborating, and as you update the model, the others in collaboration share in the changes. There is no specific limit to how many people can collaborate at any one time.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Each collaboration participant works with their own unique assembly structure. You can share only changes for the subset of your active parts that are in collaboration . You can modify parts not in collaboration during the collaboration session. There is no need to access a common database or to share copies of all parts prior to a collaboration session.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Share collaboration changes using streamlined NX commands sent via a conferencing system data channel dedicated to the NX collaboration activity. NX displays are not shared and network bandwidth requirements are minimized.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Collaborate has built&ndash;in safe guards to help ensure the collaboration experience is successful, robust, yet non&ndash;intrusive to the design process itself.</p>
