How to stop spin animation and maintain rotation

[PhoneixS]

I want to have a slide with a graph (or image) that when you click, starts spinning and when you click again it stops maintaining the rotation (like a Wheel of Fortune).

I have managed to start (in the animation properties start on mouse click) and stop (in the animation properties repeat until next click) it when you click. However, when it stops it returns to the starting position instead of staying as it was although I have tried checking and unchecking the option to rewind after playing.

Can it be done without macros?

IMHO, I don’t think the animation functions can fulfill your wish.

Hi! I made this task the following way:

1. Add two separate buttons, responsible for the wheel rotation function
2. Name the buttons: Rotate 1, Rotate 2
3. Add FOUR Emphasis spin animations for your wheel (all with different spin degree amount)
4. For all FOUR animations make Trigger (effect start on click of Rotate 1, do not change other options!)
5. Add another TWO Emphasis spin animations for your wheel (all with different spin degree amount)
6. For these TWO animations make Trigger (effect start on click of Rotate 2, do not change other options!)

Important: EVERYWHERE leave after animation DON’T DIM!!!

When running the wheel press both buttons, always changing from Rotate 1 to Rotate 2.

This is the only working way I found.

Good luck!

P.S. Form names are clockwise and counterclockwise vs Rotate1 & 2

Thanks a lot for your sample file. I had to add the - for counterclockwise rotations. The group was a little damaged (see screenshot). Nevertheless a good stimulus for learning animations.
Thanks again.
