Animator:Play multiple animations together?

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...
