Rotating Dial
Hello All!
I need help with an animation. How would I go about getting the dial to move from it's start position (220) back to 0? I've tried motion path and I've gotten pretty close by using Freeform and Orient Object. However, the dial doesn't stay in position. I need it to rotate counter clockwise and I just can't seem to get it right. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've put together a very quick sample showing how you could acheive this: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/72b94c96-8bfc-41eb-88af-e3afbc00a28e/review
I've included the Storyline file too. Hope it helps.

In order for the dial to turn you need to change its variable. See attached a quick example that uses an off-stage object with a looped motion path that counts down the dial variable. Hope that helps.

Hi Anisha,
For this purpose, I would use a bit of JavaScript as an alternative, just to make it feel more realistic.Example:
Let me know if you'd like to give it a try, and I'll attach the .story file.
