I am looking for a way to rotate arrays of objects, each object around it's own axis. I have tried linking to dummies but they the rotate arount the axis of the dummy. It seems like a simple enough operation, I'm sure there is an easy way to do it. Thanks for any help.

If you rotate an array in one shot, it'll all rotate around one axis. There are two basic techniques for rotating objects around their own axis. 1) Rotate them separately by hand. 2) Rotate one of them, and then use the Copy tracks command with the H-key to copy the animation to lots of other objects at once. – G

Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't even considered copying the tracks. Dale Spectrum Multimedia Services
