Advanced Animation Toolbar

The Advanced Animation toolbar contains tools to position and animate layers. The Scale, Translate and Rotate tools can be used to reposition the permanent pivot position of a layer. Unlike the Transform tool, each tool in the Advanced Animation toolbar performs a single operation, either rotate, scale, translate or scale in relation to the camera distance.

Icon	Tool Name	Description
	Translate	Lets you move the selected element along the X and Y axes.
	Rotate	Turns a selected element around its pivot point.
	Scale	Increases or decreases the size of a selected element. You can scale an object up to make it larger or down to make it smaller. Press Shift to scale the element while maintaining its proportions.
	Skew	Slants the selected element.
	Maintain Size	Keeps elements the same size aspect ratio in the Camera view as you move them towards or away from the camera.
	Spline Offset	Lets you reposition the visual trajectory without offsetting or modifying your animation. By default, the trajectory is located at 0,0,0 fields. If your elements were drawn in a different location than the centre of the drawing area, it will look like the trajectory is not aligned with your drawing. Also, if you have several elements attached to one trajectory, you might want your trajectory to be at a different location to represent the group's motion better.
	Reposition Drawing	Lets you reposition, scale, rotate or skew all drawing strokes on every drawing included in a layer.
	Capture Motion	Capture the mouse movement and apply to the X and Y position of Peg or Drawing. It allows you to select the following options: Capture Speed: It reduces or accelerate the speed at which keyframes are recorded as you trace the animation by hand. Keyframe Interval: It shows the number of frames separating keyframes generated in the animation. Smoothing: It shows the degree of smoothing applied on the animation that you trace. Capture: Clicking Capture button will enable the capture of a path in the camera view, when a drawing or peg is selected. This acts as a security lock that prevents the user from accidentally capturing a motion path in the camera view. The button automatically resets its state when you complete the animation.
