Animating a Model or Drawing

To animate a model or drawing, use one of the following:

	Continuous Play	Starts a continuous forward play loop. In some cases, Continuous Play is not available. For example, if you have a drawing with only one view, no animation will play if you click Continuous Play.
	Stop	Stops the animation at its current position. When you stop the animation, you can use the zoom, rotate, and pan tools. When you restart the animation, it zooms to fit the animated view in the graphics area and returns to the previous active view.
	Next	Advances to the next view in the animation sequence.
	Previous	Returns to the previous view in the animation sequence.
	Reset	Returns the model to its original orientation.
