To Play an Animation

To play an animation

1. Click Animation tab Playback panel Available Animations drop-down list and select the animation you want to play back.
2. On the Playback panel, click Play .

   Use the VCR buttons on the Playback panel to control the animation. The Playback Position slider enables you to quickly move forward and backward through the animation. Full left is at the beginning and full right is at the end.

   To the right of the Playback Position slider, there are two animation progress indicators: percentage and time (in seconds). You can type a number into either box to set the camera at a certain point.

3. For viewpoint animations, you may notice that the frame in the animation in the Saved Viewpoints window (click View tab Workspace panel Windows drop-down Saved Viewpoints) is highlighted when the animation is playing. Click any frame to set the camera to that point in time in the viewpoint animation and continue playing back from there.
