About the Animation dialog box

The Animation dialog box is a floating dialog box, which means you can keep it open all
the time and move it around the screen. While it’s open you can select other objects and
open other dialog boxes.

For details about the parts of the Animation dialog box, see Help.

Use Object Smart Path to visually set animation

Because the Animation dialog box stays open, you can go back and forth between the
dialog box and the graphic display. This makes it easy to set the range of motion for an
object because you do not have to know how many pixels you want an object to move.
Instead, you can set the range of motion visually using the Object Smart Path feature. For
details, see page 22-7.
