On the slide, Control-click the drawing you want to animate.
In the Animate
sidebar, click the Build In or Build Out tab, click Add an Effect, then choose Line Draw.Do any of the following:
Adjust how long the animation plays: Drag the Duration slider.
Change how quickly the drawing appears or disappears: Click the Acceleration pop-up menu, then choose an option.
Change when to start the animation: Click the Order pop-up menu, then choose an option.
Preview the animation: Click Preview.
To learn more, see Animate an object onto and off a slide.
