Animation and Rendering

After setting the view orientation, the new animation step is automatically

added between the keys.

Notice that the next timeline does not have a gap between some view

orientation steps. This is done by adding a new key, moving the time bar to the

new location, changing the view orientation and repeating the process a second

time. The final effect is that the view keeps moving from one orientation to the next

without stopping.

Remember to turn "Disable View Key Creation" ON when done

manipulating views and avoid accidentally changing the view orientation

and zoom settings of the animation.

For this example, we'll add a rotary motor to the 'Worm Gear Shaft', which

will also move the 'Worm Gear Complete' and the 'Offset Shaft Gear thanks to the

gear mate. In the "Motor Type" properties, select the "Rotary Motor" option. For the

"ComponenUDirection" select the outside face of the shaft. A preview will show the

direction of rotation. If needed (or wanted), we can reverse the direction. In the

"Motion" section select the "Distance" option and make the displacement 1800

degrees (5 full turns), starting at 7 seconds, with a duration of 8 seconds (finishing

at 14 seconds). Click OK to add the motor.
