Edit motion paths
Hello,
I am looking for a tutorial or discussion about editing a motion path once one is created. I couldn't find one.
After creating a motion path, sometimes I need to adjust where I want the object to begin or end, but it seems difficult. If I move the object at the start point up or down, the end point moves up or down. I just want to move the start point only, for example and the end point to stay put. I have tried locking the object, but no luck.
Can someone direct me to how to do this without having to delete the motion path and start over?
Thank you,
Still not resolved after 3 years, one cannot edit motion paths after they have been applied, especially the circular ones
Yes it does not surprise me that after 3 years you still cant' edit motion paths. Improving the animation and graphics capabilities of Articulate Storyline does not ever appear to be high priority on the upates list.

Hi Mehdi and Tom!
I hear that editing motion paths will elevate your projects! It's important that our team understands author's design needs so I appreciate you checking in on this discussion.
We are continuing to share feature ideas with our team, so I'll create a feature request with both of your recent comments. If you have any mock-ups or design images that I can attach to the request, would you mind attaching them to this discussion?
There is a way to adjust the endpoint of a line motion...It's not as elegant as Captivate (which allows us to change the start and end points independently pixel by pixel), but it works. You do this by using the Drawing Tools, Size and Position pop-up.
As another user pointed out someplace in this forum, fine-tuning is done by changing the size and position. In other words, adjusting the length and width, horizontal and vertical placement of the start and end points.
This document I created explains what happens when you create line motions. If you have suggestions for improving it, by all means let me know.
