Auto-orient along path doesn’t work when there’s a Position expression

[Dan Ebberts]

This rotation expression should work (turn off auto-orient):

L=thisComp.layer(“Shape Layer 1”);
p=L.content(“Rectangle 1”).content(“Path 1”).path;
t = p.tangentOnPath(effect(“Slider Control”)(1),time);
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(t[1],t[0]))

except when your slider gets to 1.0, so you may want to limit it to .999 or so.
