I know it is years later, but I am dealing with this same issue right now. No idea why they couldn’t just use text and change the data type afterwards. 😞

I didn’t see numProperties documented anywhere. Searched around before asking but I left my Javascript Manual at home since people were jamming it into AC vents to stop rooms from getting cold. I’ll double check it there when I get home but the code is working perfectly.

toFixed was what I was thinking too. Don’t need to round.

Works perfectly. I was thinking I would have to do so much more.

I don’t understand. I get how fromcomp works but not sure where to use. The point control on the layer is being pushed further from the anchor point (which is still 640,360 in center of layer) based on the scaling.
I am trying to write an expression on position to push the point control to 640,450 on comp.

Works perfectly. I was hoping to do without regex since I don’t always wrap my head around it. I appreciate the comment as well in there. Thank you very much.

If I used this to bake sourcetext that I populated from expressions, it there any way to turn off keyframing on the text layers since every frame would be the same value? I know I can go through hundreds of layers and click the stopwatch.
Thanks in advance, I realize this is a 5 year old post.

I have the same problem. I believe here it has something to do with network permissions or network firewalls (because I am behind corporate walls). It is quite frustrating since I can’t really use Cinema 4d renderer for extrusions and often find myself faking them in classic 3d in styles circa 20 years ago.

I am not sure if this will help you, but I have done a create shapes manually inside my animation comp and set all paths to trace off the path on index 1. this let me click create paths and send layer to the top of comp and have it update everywhere. Then if I did a couple times, I could even hot switch the linking to the top most traced mask, on the topmost layer just by moving to the top.
thisComp.layer(1).mask(1).maskPath -
I found my workaround in this post from the great Dan couple years ago.
