Can't see anchor point when using Repeater

[SgtWhiskeyJack]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use the repeater animator and have it be radial in nature. Now, I can achieve this, but it's sort of a pain because you have to position the repeater's transform anchor point in the middle of your circle. The problem is that I can't visually see the anchor. The only anchor I see is the one for the shape layer. I am unable to use the pan behind tool to select the repeater's transform anchor, and I clicked around for quite a while before giving up and searching on here.

I would expect that I could grab the repeater anchor and have all the objects arrange themselves wherever I move it. As of right now, the only way to do this is through the xy numbers, and maybe this is the only way to do it, but I thought I'd reach out for help.

Thank you!

It's the only way to do it. This is the same old "Adobe never truly finished shape layers" thing and what you see is entirely dependent which property is selected in the timeline. There are no specific display modes, no specific widgets, no interactive selections and all the good stuff that one would think are a natural part of the process.

Thank you for letting me know. I thought maybe I was going crazy. At least I know I wasn't missing something easy. I sure hope they add this feature, because that would make this much easier for total noobs like myself.
