Startup Help
When you start the application for the first time or when you click on the Start button in the toolbar, Animoidstm welcomes you and gives you access to the startup help pages.

Action Help
Action Help is designed for use while performing tasks like editing an Animoid. When you are performing such tasks you start the Action Help system by selecting that option from the Help menu as follows:


       

Once you select that option (again, assuming you are editing an Animoid) a Control Panel like the following will appear:


       

This (yellow) panel will display help on any editing type action you perform. I.e. as you perform an action, the panel will give you a description of the action and other related tasks.

Note that this Control Panel is floatable. That is, if you click on the bar at the left side of the panel you can drag the component anywhere on your desktop. At that point you can also resize the component to make it easier to read.

The Lock button on this control allows you to lock whatever is currently on display so that it won't change, even if you perform other actions.

Tips:

  • Remember to unlock the lock button after you are done. Otherwise the panel will not display help on any new actions you perform.

  • You can drag actions from the Action Panel and the Option Panel and drop them into the yellow portion of this Action Help Control. When the action is dropped, you'll see the help text for that action.

    That way, you can see the help text for an action without actually performing the action.

If you want to give it a try, first click on the Characters and Props button in the toolbar then select Action Help.
