Example: creating a circular track:
In the animation menu, select new track and track points. Switch on keyboard and select add point; enter for frame: 0, for move x: 0, for move y: 10, for move z: 0. Switch on rec action. Select add point, and enter for frame: 10, for move x: 0, for move y: 0, for move z: 0. Select rotate and enter for rotate x: 0, rotate y: 0, rotate z: 30. To repeat the last step, click the repeat count input box and enter 11, then select repeat; 11 points will now be added to the track, each rotated 30 degrees around the z-axis resulting in a circular track.
