I'm trying to do a seemingly simple thing. I want to be able to move some text around the screen on the X/Y axis using a path which I create in the 2-D shaper. The path is an arc beginning at the upper left-center of the screen moving to the left upper-center of the screen. Since all paths brought into the keyframer form the 2-D Shaper are brought in on the X/Z axis, I cannot get the right orientation. I've tried bringing the path into the 3-D Lofter to rotate it, but I can't seem to get the right rotation to do the trick. I've tried doing the movements "by hand", but things come out a bit chuncky. Am I missing something painfully obvious? (wouldn't be the first time <g>)
