Creating a moving path

Changing the shape of a moving path

In CG Infinity, there are two ways in which you can change the shape of a
moving path: with the Moving Path tool or by assigning the path of an
object as a moving path. To change the shape using the Moving Path tool,
you need to select it with the Moving Path tool and then drag the moving
path as you would if adjusting an object's path. The Attribute toolbar has
the same options as the Adjust tool (see page 28). To create greater move-
ment, you can add nodes anywhere along the path and edit them as you
would with the Adjust tool.
To assign the path of an object as a moving path, first select the object and
then copy it. Now select the object you want to move and click Edit: Paste
Object as Moving Path. The path of the copied object now appears in the
center of the selected object as a moving path. This is useful if you want an
object to follow the shape of a particular feature, such as stars following
the outline of a corporate logo.
