Navigating on a map
I have a map that I want to travel on.
The map has a coordinates grid.
I would like the letter and numbers to travel with the map, but stay locked in their positions.
I locked the coordinate letters and numbers to move only on their axes.The problem starts when I want to zoom in on the map – I would like the coordinate letter and numbers to space out based on the expanding grid.
So each letter stays positioned next to their grid line. So when we zoom in the grid lines expand, and their letter should follow.
I’m trying to parent the z position of the camera null to the x property of the letter. However, the ratio is not constant – as objects farther from the camera null require a larger multiplier to move.
Any way to do this?

Solved this! Zoom in and out on the map work as needed – the letter and numbers space.
I used to.Comp –
Created 3D nulls on the end of each grid line. Each null had a matching name to the letter / number it locks.
For example, to have the D stay locked to the grid line:
[thisComp.layer(“Null_D”).toComp([0,0,0])[0],45]
