9. Drag the slider toward 0 on the timeline to see how the camera
motion is added to the animation.
10. Click the Play tool to see the changes you've made animated.
This is another example of how you can make an advanced tool easy to use.
Defining a new path for the camera took only a handful of mouse clicks, and yet
the result looks great.
Making the Components Move
Camera control isn't the only thing that has been dramatically simplified in
Inventor Studio. The animation can use positional representations to define the
beginning and ending conditions for mechanisms in the assembly.
1. Verify that the 2013 Essentials project file is active, and then open the
