Motion Path Geometry Options

The shape of a motion path is determined by the position of the object as it moves through the animation. The motion path geometry options let you change the shape of the path to create different effects.

To set motion path geometry options:

1. Display the Object Attributes dialog.
2. Click the Animation tab.
3. Enable one or all of the options:

• Make One Shot: performs the motion once and does not repeat the motion.
• Make Repeat: creates a loop in the action. The motion on the path will continuously repeat.
• Make Pendulum: creates a repeating cycle in the action along a path. The object will move forward on the path and then back.
• Make Circular: closes the path to create a circular path. The object will move along the path until it reaches the end. It then swings around to the front of the path and starts over. You must have at least four position key frame points for this feature to work.
