Hi,

 

I'm trying to connect a few null to puppet pins in the same location but connected to an imported ai file. I wanted to import the location of the puppet pins and copy them to the corresponding nulls, but I found out that the coordinates of the puppet pins were according to their location within the bounding box of the ai illustration. 

 

I can replicate the position manually, but I would like to improve my work-flow all the same, so nowing how to get around it would be great.

 

(in the image: coordinate copied to corresponding null, from bounding box to comp.

You are going to need a toComp() layer space transform expression. Something like this (untested):

 

toComp(thisComp.layer("Flower").effect("Puppet")("Pin 1")
