Animation modes

Silent mode enables you to perform design-level debugging and display animation information at breakpoints. In contrast, Watch mode enables you to continually update animation information in normal step-by-step operation through the use of the Go buttons. You can toggle between the two modes at any break, or when the executable program is idle, using the Silent/Watch tool in the Animation toolbar.
Note: Watch mode is the default animation mode. If you are in Watch mode, the text Watch - Display Continuous Update is displayed in the ToolTip when you move the cursor over the Silent/Watch tool. If you are in Silent mode, the text Display on Breakpoint Only is displayed.
