Hello all,
I am pretty new to Pro/E (really just use it to open models from supplier, then convert them to what we need in a polygonal format).
I have been told that an assembly has animation in it, but can't get it to play, so I am trying to determine if I indeed have the animation data. Is there a certain animation file that is external to the .asm and .prt files, or is the animation embedded?
When I go to Applications > Animation, I see nothing in the animation timeline. However, I do see servo motors in the viewport around the object that I assume is animated.
I have tried to follow a couple basic animation tutorials to see if I can discover anything, but those tutorials cover making my own animation, not loading/analyzing/running someone else's animation.
Is there any telltale way of knowing there's animation data? (Obviously, if the supplier SAYS it's there, that's a sign....but I'm looking for other options...supplier is not very helpful besides telling me it's there).
Thanks,
Eric
