  • Anchor points from a shape path following animated position from null objects

    Posted by Philipe Karlsson on February 3, 2012 at 12:25 pm

    Hi,

    Im looking for a way of connecting anchor points from a shape path to let them follow a separate motion.

    example: an shape path with 3 anchor points, each anchor point following a animated position of a null.

    is this possible?

    Sincerely,

    The short answer (I’ve tried to do something very similar) is no. It’s a feature that many of us have requested…who knows if it will ever materialise.

    Feel free to send a feature request to Adobe:

    It IS, however, possible using some fairly complex scripting…but unless you’re going to be repeatedly using a similar animation many times over the coming months, you’d probably be better off just animating the shape manually.
