To Import an Animation

When importing animations into a sequence step:
• The sBOM structure must match the structure of the imported animation file.
• Imported animations have no knowledge of any preceding steps, so confirm that the parts are in the same position as the animation being imported.
• Importing an animation will delete all existing tracks in a sequence step.
