How do I copy a path with modified transform values?

[jasonc34008760]

Basically, I wanted to morph shapes by pasting a path from another layer. I modified the transform values of that layer to match the layer that I will animate. And then, when I pasted the path, It brings back to its original transform values when I imported the shape from illustrator.

Path coordinates are always relative to the layer, so it works as it always has. You have to actually move the paths, not the entire layer. For your issue you would need to use one of the scripts you can find on AEscripts.com to convert the data. Most of them work with masks, though, not shape layer paths, so that's yet another extra step.
