About Sequences
A sequence is a series of illustrated, animated steps. For example, a disassembly procedure for a motor.
If a figure has a sequence, the sequence is indicated with a sequence icon. Use the playback controls in the Animation ribbon or figure window playback bar to play the sequence in a figure. You can play a sequence from start to end, or starting at any step. You can also play one step at a time.
* 
A figure can contain either a sequence or an animation. It cannot contain both.
