    Hello!

    I want to make an expression linking the position value of an effect on the value of another layer position , but have different methods of value.
    The position value of the auxiliary channel element plugin measured in units , not pixels. How I do?

    The 3D space transformations can get real complex if you are using Element Aux channel animation. I’d suggest figuring out a way to get your additional layer into Element rather than trying to convert between the coordinate systems.

    Thanks for answering!
    The problem is that I need more objects that have the Element groups .

    You have 10 aux channel for 5 groups, which makes 50 individually controllable items.

    More to the point, if you want to attach something to something else, use the same Aux channel.

    I use the auxiliary channels but have no position pixels, and need more than 5 items . If they were less than 5 would have no problem because the menu of particles if they have position pixels.

    You can animate 50 items separately with a single instance of Element. Can you post a screen shot of what you are trying to do?
