Hello,


First you have to activate the ass-in for Solidworks Animator. Goto Tools, select Add-In, scroll down to Solidworks Animator and check it in.


When you open an part or assembly there is a new Pull-Down menu Animator.


Select New from the Animator menu. The screen splits at the bottom and there you can control your animation. ClickRMB in the "to create an animation" window and select Animation wizard. Follow the wizard to create your animation.


With regards


Note: there is an online tutorial about Solidworks Animator in the help menu
