Playing Animation

To play back animation:

1.   If it's not displayed, open the Play Controls Toolbar by right-clicking on any toolbars and selecting Play Controls.

2.   Set the desired frame range. This plays only a subset of the animation.

3.   To skip to a particular frame, type the frame in the frame box.

4.   Set the playback mode in the dropdown. This can be:

Loop - keeps looping through the animation (start to finish).

Bounce - keeps looping back and forth through the animation (start to finish, then backwards back to the start).

Stop - plays the animation once and stop.

5.   Set the frame rate.
