6. If you wish to move the simulation or zoom in on it first make sure the simulation window is highlighted.  Click on Edit in the top left corner.  Then click on Interactive Mode.  By clicking on Translation or Zooming you can control the view of the simulation as in step 5.
7. In order to animate the simulation you will need to download the data file or executable file that is listed with the RoboWorks file on the class pages.
