Schedule Simulation Toolbox
The Schedule Simulation toolbox contains tools for manipulating elements, tasks and scripts while performing a schedule simulation. Some of these tools are identical to the icons in the Animation Producer dialog when it is in the Schedule Simulation mode.
Opens when you key in DIALOG TOOLBOX ANIMATION SCHEDULESIMULATION.
All tools in a toolbox are not always visible by default. To see all tools, right-click in the toolbox and select Show All from the menu.
