How do Anchor Points work?

Hello,

How can I get the Anchor Point to stay in the middle of a shape for the entire clip?

I have a simple idea - I want a regular polygon to rotate around its center while moving along a path.

 

I'm getting used to using keyframes to create a path.

 

HOWEVER I have to move the anchor point to the center of the object EVERY TIME I want to rotate. There has to be a better way.

 

thanks!!

 

Isabelle

You need to use the properties of the shape not the Vector or Motion.

So, Ann, do you mean in the top left panel I should open the shape and work there? I will look at that. Thanks!

If, for some reason, your anchor point goes off center.

Use the Snap in Program monitor feature (wrench).
