  • Very quick question about anchor points

    Posted by Mark Wilde on July 16, 2019 at 1:10 pm

    Hi

    This is an area that’s always slightly confused me.

    Am I correct in thinking that every shape, layer and animator always begins with it’s anchor point in the centre of the object/layer /animation by default?

    Therefore if you drew a shape within a shape layer, and applied a repeater there are actually three anchor points:
    1) anchor point of the shape
    2) anchor point of the repeater
    3) anchor point of the overall layer

    Repeaters are the one thing I’m trying to get my head around since the anchor point doesn’t seem to show as a little target type graphic like the other two do? Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance

    yeah you are right…although the 2nd and 3rd anchor points are not visible…it would be really nice to be able to see them
