To Work with Advanced Animation Options

  1. Select a path and then select Animate from the Vehicle Tracking drop down menu or click the Animate button. The Animation dialog is displayed.
  2. Click the Advanced button. The Animation dialog advanced options is displayed.

    You should see six horizontal bars. The lower five with the scroll buttons to the right represent potential paths to be animated. Unused bars are completely blank. Paths to be animated are shown as green and contain the name of the vehicle followed by the title of the path. If none of the bars is green then close the dialog, select a path and click Animate again.

  4. To edit one of the paths, highlight the relevant bar and click the Edit button (or just double click on the bar). The Path Animation dialog is displayed.
  5. To add a path, click the Add button. The Path Animation dialog displays (see Path Animation dialog (8020)). Select the path that you wish to add from the drop down list, adjust the settings if required and click OK. The path displays in the next available horizontal bar.
    Tip: If you want to create a traffic queue add the same path several times each with a greater start delay.
  6. To remove a path from the current animation, highlight the path and click the Remove button.
  7. To add, remove or edit a sound, annotation or CAD command, double click on the Global Actions bar. The Animation Commands dialog displays (see Animation Commands dialog).
