Graph Editor List menu

Auto Load Selected Objects

When Auto Load is turned on, the objects that appear in the Outliner will change every time you make a selection to show the currently selected objects. If Auto Load is turned off, it locks the objects currently in the Outliner so you can continue to edit their animation curves even if you make a new selection in a scene view.

Load Selected Objects

You can use this item only when Auto Load is off. When Auto Load is off, the objects appearing in the Outliner may be out of sync with what is currently selected in a scene view. To reload the Outliner with the current selection, choose Option > Reload List.

Add Selected Objects

To work on the animation of one object in the Graph Editor and another object not loaded in the Outliner, select that object and choose Options > Add Selected to List. This will add the selected object to the Graph Editor Outliner without disrupting the layout of the objects and animation curves currently in the Graph Editor.

Bookmarks

To save the view of the animation of one or more objects in the Graph Editor, create a bookmark.

Bookmark Current Objects

Opens the Bookmark Current Objects window. This window lets you set a bookmark for the objects currently loaded in the Graph Editor. An object bookmark allows you to load objects into the Graph Editor without having to select them in the scene view.

Object bookmarks appear as a list in the Bookmarks menu. When you select an object bookmark (indicated by the checkmark), its associated objects are loaded into the Graph Editor. When you remove an object bookmark selection (no checkmark), its associated objects are unloaded from the Graph Editor.
Tip: Select Bookmark Current Objects > if you want to specify a name for the object bookmark.
Bookmark Selected Curves

Opens the Bookmark Selected Curves window. This window lets you set a curve bookmark for the selected curves. A curve bookmark allows you to load curve nodes into the Graph Editor without having to select the curves’ objects in the scene view.

Curve bookmarks appear as a list in the Bookmarks menu. When you select a curve bookmark (indicated by the checkmark), its associated curve nodes are loaded into the Graph Editor. When you cancel a curve bookmark selection (no checkmark), its associated curve nodes are unloaded from the Graph Editor.

Remove All Bookmarks

Removes all bookmarks from the current objects and curves displayed in the Graph Editor.

Show Upstream Curves

Lets you limit which curves display in the graph view for a selected channel. When on, only directly connected curves display. When off, all curves for the selected channel display.

See Display directly connected curves only.

Show Animated Shapes
Controls whether animated shapes below the selected DAG node are auto-expanded.
Note: The Show Animated Shapes option is shared between the Graph Editor and Dope Sheet Editor. If you activate this option in one editor, it is activated for both. If you make a change in one editor, the change updates in both.
Select from All, One, or None:
All The selected DAG node is expanded and the Graph Editor and Dope Sheet Editor display curves for the node and all animated shapes.
One The selected DAG node is expanded, but the Graph Editor and Dope Sheet Editor display only the top level curves of the node from the selected node.
None The selected DAG node is not expanded and only the curves for the selected node are displayed.
