Using the Graph With the Animation Palette

If you open the Animation palette, you can access the Graph palette for the currently selected scene element by clicking the Display Graph Palette button, or by double-clicking a keyframe in the Animation palette. With both palettes open, you have the following options:

Double-click any element in the Animation palette’s Element list to switch the current Graph palette to the selected element.

The element list will be disabled when the Selection Sync option is checked in the graph palette.

Double-click any element in the Animation palette’s Element list to open a new Graph palette for the selected element. You can open as many Graph palettes as you like at one time, which can greatly speed up your animation work. You can even open more than one Graph palette for each element, allowing you to (for example) adjust the Right Forearm’s Twist and Bend at once to achieve smooth realistic movement.

When you have more than one Graph palette open at once, changing elements by double-clicking them will update all Graph palettes that have those elements selected, or that have the Selection Sync option enabled. All other Graph palettes will retain their current settings. If you need to change more than one graph palette, close out all unneeded palettes, then re-open them by selecting your currently needed elements.
