I am creating an animation of an automated cnc assembly line and I initially thought that the best way to do that is to have an individual animation (single assembly doc but multiple animation tabs) for each cnc station so that I could invidually play the animation for each station but also play the entire sequence of animations to animate the entire line.
That last step is what I cannot figure out how to do yet; how can I play all animations within a given document?
Thanks,
Sam
What I would do (and have done) is to save all of the animations to .avi, and then use a movie editing program to splice them together. Of course, if you are making changes to the model, it will require redoing the animations. The nice thing then is that you can see the animations without loading the sw model.
On a slight side note, one thing to watch out for doing that, at least with the default Windows Movie Maker program, is that it will sqash the animation window to fit a default screen ratio, so if you render using the screen, make sure your screen is more or less a standard ratio (regular or widescreen).
Esobota,
Thanks for your response.
I think I am going to check into writing a maco that will automatically play all animations in sequence for a given document. Seems like this is an obvious enhancement request.
Thanks again...
