Optimizer animation settings

Pause between iterations until mouse/key is pressed

This option is intended to be used in a classroom setting in which you are trying to describe the behavior of the optimizer as it is running. This option pauses the optimizer after each iteration until you press a key, giving you an arbitrary amount of time to explain whatever behavior you wish to explain.

Update Analysis's "Current Point" after each iteration

This option updates the "Current Point" to match the optimizer's current point after each iteration. This allows the optimizer's progress to be shown on ALL workspace objects that belong to the current analysis. (Whereas normally the optimizer's progress is shown only on the currently selected object.) The other objects won't show the full optimizer animation, they will instead show an animation similar to what you would see if you use an Independent variable sliders control to trace along the optimizer's path.
