Sounds like what you're looking for is the frame/animation editor.

If you've already found the editor and are asking for instructions on how to use it - there's a very good video included with the software... (Click on 'Help')

ETA: There's also a reasonably good manual, which I found with Google, but every time I try and post a link to it the server crashes (apparently).

Thanks

i know how to create a frame / animation.

what im after is a way to create a blade with visible dot along

i can make it by creating 2 different frames/animations and merging them ... but i find i cant get the dots all in a straight line.

So all up i want to be able to create it a bit easier if possible

did you look at the video tutorial about Quick Shape?

go to Quick Shape - select a line and then select Beam mode the button that looks like a snowflake than you have a slider to determine the number of points
 
so in Quick Shape you make a line and drag it to cue 1
again in Quick shape you take the same line and make it points(you can chang the color) and drag that to cue 2
than you drag these 2 cues to Quick Capture and than you drag that to cue 3

Yes, just use the drawing editor to do this. Just right-click on a cue, and say "Create new frame and animation". Then you can use the drawing tools to draw lines joined by dots.

Note that if you have the POINT tool selected, and you press CTRL when clicking in the drawing window, the system will interpret that as a "bright point" (normally use for beams) at that location.

Best regards,
