Automatic rotate dial once
Hello Articulate developers, I created the slide in the attachement and got the feedback that it isn't clear that you can rotate the dials. To solve this, I was thinking about an animation that rota...

Jeroen,
There are many ways to accomplish this as Judy noted. Here's what's happening in the attached example:
- When the dials have zoomed onto the screen (at 1 second) a layer is called where the auto-spin occurs.
- A counter variable (I called it "Spin") is initially set to zero when the layer's timeline starts.
- A dummy shape (intentionally placed off the slide) is assigned a motion path with a 0.1 second duration.
- When the motion path completes, the animation starts again and Spin is incremented by 1 as long as Spin hasn't reached 10 yet.
- Each of your four dial variables is incremented to match the value of Spin when the dummy shape's motion completes.
- Once the full spin of each dial has occurred (i.e., Spin=10), the dial variables are reset to zero and the layer is hidden.
Because of the limitation of 0.1 for the minimum duration of a motion path, we can't use this same technique to spin the dials faster. However, there are other ways to accomplish the full spin much more quickly if need be.
