Selecting Motion Paths

Jan 15, 2015

Hi all - 

I'm working on a slide that has an object coming in along Motion Path 1, and then retreating along Motion Path 2, back the direction it came.

I wanted to change some timing on the animation, and I'm having trouble selecting one of the Motion Paths, or even telling which one I have selected.  Since they overlap, i'm only able to select one.

Is there a way to select which motion path i'm editing without actually clicking on the path?  Or a quick way to get to that other path?

Hi! It looks like there hasn't been an update to this feature since it was requested over five years ago. I'm seeing comments in this thread from 5+ years ago to as recently as two months ago, and searching the forums and online doesn't turn anything up. There certainly does not appear to be anyway to access a list (e.g., selection pane) for motion paths within an object. This is very much needed!

The original comment was posted January 2015. It is now July 2024. I make that 9 AND A HALF YEARS without a solution from Articulate!! It beggars belief that Articulate do not deem this change request worthy of any action in ALMOST A DECADE! I have just spent far too long trying to select overlapping motion paths. It really is such a tedious and cumbersome process trying to introduce several overlapping motions paths onto a slide. Often, the thought alone puts me off from even trying. @Articulate, please, please PLEASE fix this!!
