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.
1. Click Animation > Advanced. The Animation tool opens in Creation mode.
2. Click Animations > Import Animation. The Import Animation dialog box opens.
3. Click Yes to confirm the import. The Load Animation dialog box opens.
4. Select the format to import:
Mechanica File (*.fra)
IPS File (*.xml)
5. Select the animation file to import and click Load:
For IPS files—The Select Part dialog box opens. Select the part to apply the path, and then click OK. The animation is loaded.
For Mechanica files—The animation is loaded, or the FRA file importer settings dialog box opens.
6. To specify time and space information about the animation, follow these steps:
a. Select a conversion factor in the boxes next to Units.
b. In the Frames per second box, select or type a value.
