>>rotating path… I don't know if there is an easier way, but this is how I rotate a simple keyframer path (I don't know how it will work for linked objects): -Save the project containing the orig path to disk as a .3DS file (not as a .PRJ). -In the Editor, make a copy of the keyframed object using a shift move. Rotate this new object in the editor the number of degrees you want to rotate the KF path. This rotates the transformation matrix of the object. -In the KF, do Object/Tracks/FileInsert, click on the new object, pick the .3DS file, pick the original object from the list, set scope to Object and method to Relative. This will apply the old path to the new object but it will be rotated in 3D to align with the new object. BTW, you probably know this, but you can hold down the ALT key to move (translate) an entire path with the Path/MoveKey command. JKJ, Oak Ridge, TN
