Playing back an animation

You can play back a created animation by using the [Play] toolbar or by selecting [Play] from the menu.

[Start Play]

Playback of an animation starts from the currently active frame. The animation is repeated the number of times set in the "Animation attributes" dialog box.

Hint When you start playback with the count set to one and the last frame active, playback ends without anything being displayed. In this case, start playback after pressing the [Show First Frame] button. Playback will subsequently start from the beginning of the animation.

[Stop Play]

Playback of the animation is suspended.

Selects the first frame.

[Show Previous Frame]

Selects the frame immediately before the currently displayed frame.

[Show Next Frame]

Selects the frame immediately after the currently displayed frame.

[Show Last Frame]

Selects the final frame.
