Motion Path (end) X Y position?

Hey Mark,

With the along awaited animation effect as Motion Paths, there a few things that were left on the cutting room floor. XY coordinates is or 'position' of the end path object is one. 

The more folks suggest this as a feature request for the next version, the better. Here's the link > http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature

Hi Mark,

You can also see the elements you can edit and manipulate in terms of motion paths detailed here. 

Hi Kevin, yes thanks for that... I've submitted a feature request.

Hi Ashley,

Showing the coordinates of the end position of an motion paved object would enable seamless positioning of interactive objects across multiple slides.... I currently achieve this by toggling between the (end preview of an object) and a (pasted copy) on the next slide, this copy is then positioned using the control + arrow keys.

This method is not too hard to do but it would great to be able to view a coordinate that already exits within the program.... perhaps a context sensitive option within the position properties? 

Fingers crossed that there enough requests for this feature to be included in a future release.

Regards,
Mark  

Thanks for sending the request - I can definitely see this being a great thing to add, so I hope a lot of requests come in too! 

I'm doing a project with a LOT of motion paths, so I also submitted a request.  Fingers crossed!

If you don't mind using a couple of temporary shapes, you can copy / paste some "jigs" between slides to snap align your motion path endings and beginnings. You'll get the horizontal and vertical align marks when it's close to the corner.

Not perfect but it seems to work.

@Steve - that's exactly what I did...  which helped since I have a couple slides with 50+ objects on each that follow diffeent motion paths.  :-) 

Drawing a line the length and direction of your motion path can also help.

@Steve & Diana - Thanks for sharing the "Jigs" method/s, although I'm getting freakishly proficient with my toggle trick this looks like an easier (and ultimately more precise) way of doing things.

@Diana - thanks for also submitting this feature request, here's hoping for more:)

Thanks Mark for letting us know how you're able to set this up - and the more feature requests the better as then our team is able to keep track of how many users would like a particular feature. 

Thanks Ashley... I think you should also submit a feature request;)

I suspect mine may just be ignored :-)

It's a little late but I just discovered another work around while trying to match the position of an image that I had moved with an animation. If you publish your project and take a full scale screen shot you'll replicate your image in perfect position. Just crop the screen shot to the resolution you are using and use transparent fill with a .png to remove content you don't want. 

Hi Elliot,

Never to late to share an additional idea here! Thanks for popping in. 

Thanks Diana Myers
