Add cycles and parameters to Animation...

[kdeuler]

Hi. I'm a newbie, so excuse me if these suggestions are  already possible. In the Animation space, consider:

1) Adding the ability to create cycles in an animation. Presently, it appears to be possible to only rotate a joint 359 degrees. It would be nice to be able to set the joint in perpetual motion, similar to what one can do with the "Animate Joint" option in the Model space. In this way, one can view repeating motions of cyclical systems.

2) It would also be nice to use parameters in the Animation. For example, say you have a nut on a 20-thread-per-inch threaded rod. It would be very useful to be able to configure the nut to move 1/20 of an inch along the rod every time the nut rotated once. To configure, you'd use R1 = +.05inS1 (1 rotation = .05 inch slider motion).

Thanks.
