Motion Envelopes

I have a very large assembly (20,000+ components). Inside that assembly I have a number of subassemblies that move (i.e. a door opening). Because these subassemblies have a tendency to change any number of times throught the life of the design process, I need to have updateable motion envelopes or space claims. Does anyone have a slick method that allows them to have accurate and updateable space claims that can be accessed by any number of designers/engineers at any time? What I'm trying to avoid is people designing components that interfere with the motion path of people working on a different part of the assembly.


Other related questions:


Should I make a seperateassembly that has all the motion envelopes in them?


Can I put these motion envelopes in a given assembly without it showing up in the BOM?
