Any Chance For an Anchor Point Tool SCRIPT????

[rocken]

Please
I like to make a request if any of the GURUS can make an anchor point tool...something similar to what can be found in Adobe Illustrator??....I believe it would make life easier for all : one would be able to control in between two anchor points without having to match individual anchor points.....Maybe it could be integrated into the Transform Points Tool ....Please I would appreciate a feedback if this is possible or not

I know this isn't exactly the same thing as having a separate anchor point but What I usually do is place a layer inside a group layer and re-position the origin for the group. This way I can animate from different transform origins for the same item. Using Timeline visibility, I can show key frames for both layers and animate them as one.

Sometimes I'll nest a layer within multiple groups so I can have many origin points to animate from.

Depending on your nesting order, you can even simulate how you animate an anchor point AE by animating the Layer transforms.

If you're looking for a tool that allows you to change the point of rotation take a look at this thread: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... 12&t=30487

I'm trying to create a mental picture of what you just said...Please could you share a screenshot or a short video?
