Animating a child diagram (Object Animator)
You can animate child diagrams of objects on your Sequence Diagram.
To step into child diagrams:
1. On the Edit menu, click Options.
2. Select the Animate into Child Diagrams check box.
3. Click OK to close the Options.
* 
By default you do not animate child diagrams.
If you run through an animation, Object Animator will animate all child Sequence Diagrams. If you step through an animation, Object Animator will animate all child Sequence Diagrams, except when an Event, Operation or Use Case owns multiple Sequence Diagrams, in which case you are prompted to select the child diagram you want to animate.
