    an easy one I’m sure, but I am animating an arrow along a path. How do I make sure the point of the arrow follows the path as it animates. I can manually control the arrow’s rotation as it animates along the path, but it still doesn’t look right.

    I want to make sure the point of the arrow is always front and center as it animates.

    Thanks in advance.

    No expression needed, look up “auto orient” in the manual.
    The setting “orient along path” will (in most cases) do what you need.

    If you do have a problem with certain motions, it can be solved with expressions, check back.
