Sequences

The Sequence feature allows you to build and efficiently maintain a complete library of your Canvas-created design effects. When you create a Sequence, you will record all of the operations that were used to build an object. Once the Sequence is recorded, you can then reproduce that object quickly and accurately at a later date by playing the Sequence.

What is a Sequence:

A Sequence consists of a group of Canvas operations, which can be easily applied to a selected object or group of objects. A Sequence is a very versatile and easy-to-use feature that allows you to:

  • Record and reuse the process of creating a design effect.
  • Apply a design effect to another object or group of objects.
  • Save it as a separate file and then share it with co-workers.
  • Selectively enable or disable any effect during playback.
  • View or modify the process at any time, even during playback.
  • Precisely recreate a recorded object.
