You can still have the oval run on the path and look as if it is drawing the shape as Alyssa describes. You may need to experiment a bit to get them to synchronize. My guess is that for sure you will have to set the motion path to no easing.
The wheel animation is a brilliant way to accomplish this! Is there a way to modify the animation so it goes counter clockwise? By default it goes clockwise and that's fine. I was just curious if the direction of animations could be changed. I didn't see a way to do that.
Thanks! I submitted the feature request and also suggested that it would be nice to be able to select the starting point for the animation (i.e. 12:00 o'clock, 3:00 o'clock, etc.) or by marking a starting point on the object being animated.
Great - thanks Steve! Also, looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email! No worries, this Peek video will show you how to remove it.

Hi Lisa!
Check out this method--no motion paths needed! 😁
I hope this helps!

Hi Steve,
There isn't a way to change the direction of that animation but I could see that being a great Feature request, and you can share that here. If you’re wondering what happens when you submit a feature request, here’s our process.
