Motion-Path-Animation-Dialog-Box
Motion Path Animation Dialog Box
Specifies settings for a motion path animation and creates an animation file.

With a motion path animation, you can specify that the camera remains in one place,
but pivots to follow the path through the drawing, or that the camera itself moves
along the path.
Create the path object first and then select it as the camera path or the target path.
A path object can be a line, arc, elliptical arc, circle, polyline, 3D polyline, or
spline.
When you create a motion path, a camera is automatically created. If you delete an
object that you specified as a motion path, the named motion path is also deleted.
