    Posted by Eran Solomon on September 22, 2005 at 12:39 pm

    Can anyone please explain to me how to make a patch and make a line draw acording to it ? (kinda like the the thing you see in the movies where a line is being drawn along a map..)

    thanks in advance !

    1. draw the line on a solid with the pen tool.
    2. apply effect>render>stroke to the solid. Set to “only”, not “in original”.
    3. animate the end point of the stroke effect.

    Draw the curved path with the pen tool. Check the manual for that.
