Great that I could help and thanks for your comment – knowing that my solution helped somebody makes me happy!

Thank you. I’m glad I could help.

When you create a Null with the Trace Path script the Null has an Expression on its postion property. In this expression you should change “pathLayer.toComp” into “pathLayer.toWorld”. This should do the trick.

Mr. Ebbert, Thank you so very much, this script is veeeery helpful. The Property I was looking for apparently was “ADBE Vector Star Type”. I got it working now 🙂

I just realized that basically EVERY useful info about AE-Scripting Google can find comes from Dan Ebberts personally. So, thank you for your incredible help all around – it seems YOU are the personified AE-Script-Reference!
