Resume Animation. Sketchpad resumes
animation of the point, even though its path has been hidden.
The Speed commands, Faster and Slower, change the speed of all active
animations by a fixed small increment. Choose Faster or Slower
repeatedly in order to speed up or slow down an animation by larger
increments. These commands are available only when one or more
animations are active.
To reset all animations to default speeds, stop the animations and start
them again.
Stop Animation stops all active animations and selects the points that
were previously animating, if they are visible. This command is available
only when one or more animation is active.
You may also press
N
to stop animations when the Arrow tool is active
and nothing is selected in the sketch. (Because
N
switches to the Arrow
if the Arrow is not active, or deselects objects if any objects are selected,
pressing
N
repeatedly will eventually stop an active animation.)
The Action Buttons menu creates action buttons in your sketch. When
pressed with the Arrow tool, these buttons perform actions similar to those
that could be performed using menu commands. Use action buttons to
make frequently used commands easily accessible in your sketch.
Using Action Buttons
Action buttons are objects like any other in your sketch—they can be
selected, moved, hidden, or deleted like other objects. In addition, they can
be pressed, which causes them to perform their action.
Using Action Buttons

the Arrow over any part of the
button except the small handle on
the left. The cursor becomes a
