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.

This comprehensive and adjustable palette provides a tree view of all Sequence Sets and the individual Sequences that are available. Since the Sequence palette floats, you can place it anywhere on the screen or it may be docked in the Docking bar. You can create an unlimited number of Sequences or Sequence Sets.
