[Product_Support]

Issue

Product Line

Environment

• Sigma
• Graphics
• Animations

Cause

A Sigma animation has been used (for a BAS Legacy animation see BAS Legacy Animations are not moving in Sigma Graphics).

Resolution

1. Identify the animation file in c:\sigma\data\graphics\animations\ and open with Microsoft Paint and note the no. of frames across and no. of rows.
2. Open the properties page of the animation.
3. Change the Frames Across and Num Frames (rows x frames across) to that seen in MS Paint.
4. Change the Width and Height by sizing the image in the preview window so that only 1 animation is visible e.g. 1 fan.
5. Change the Horz Pitch and Vert Pitch so that the animation moves completely to the next animation in 1 step.
   Example: fan animated 4.bmp will be
   • Frames Across = 4 Num Frames = 8
   • Start Col = 1 Start Row = 1
   • Width = 267 Height = 267
   • Horz Pitch = 267 Vert Pitch = 267
