Animation
Main menus Applications/Animation New screen with animation icons on the right. Body definition in animation(3nd icon) Ground (Part01) body1 (Part02) body2 (Part03) Click on them to see if the parts are highlighted Close Drag model and create snapshots(4th icon) - drag the part02 and move it 90 degrees (click w left mouse button, doubleclick to release at the desired position) - take a snapshot Snapshot1appears in the Drag GUI - drag part02 in the initial position, take Snapshot2 - drag part02 another 90 degrees (opposite snapshot1); take Snapshot3 Close

Create new keyframe sequence (5th icon) Name it Rotation In the snapshot window, drop-down menu to select Snapshot12 Snapshot 1, Time 0.00, + Snapshot 2, Time 2.00, + Snapshot 3, Time 4.00, + OK Start the animation(3rd to last icon) STOP it at the end of 4 seconds time interval Playback (2nd to last icon) Animate GUI. See if the total no of frames is 40. If no repeat the previous step. Capture/ Name of file, Type(.mpeg, .jpeg) Works better with a white background (View/Display Settings/System Colors/ (background-white)
