Wow, that’s fantastic!
Well, let’s call it a win-win situation because if you’re glad I’ve asked, I’m really glad you solved it!
Indeed it enables many graphic possibilities, starting from the fact that I find it way easier to draw complex curved shapes in AE than in Ill.

Thanks a lot again! My very best regards,
Simon

Maybe a metaphore helps:
It is as if I had in my composition, an illustration of the Sun, of the Earth, and one of the Moon, and as if what I wanted was to get the drawing of the trajectory of the Moon in that global setting (turning around the Earth which turns around the Sun so to say).

Hello Kale, thanks for your answer, and sorry for my late thanking.

The problem is that the object that I want to convert the motion path of, is a child object, and doesn’t own its movement. In other words, the path it follows comes from the rotation and the position movements of another one, as well as the rotation of another intermediary.

I would need to know then if there would be a way of generating a motion path out the movement it inherits?

I don’t know if that’s clear. If not, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Simon

Thanks a lot Dan! It works just fine.

Could you just explain me what each of the segements of the third and fourth lines stand for?
I’ve been looking for explanations around, but can not find for example what is the purpose of += or ++…

Thanks again for your great help.
