Staying on a line

Post by Joppa »

Hi,
I have this character that should go on a line. I have tried follow the path but I get it to work. Any idea what could be wrong?

This figure

should follow the orange line. But the figure went offset.

just a guess... go to the start and correct that offset... you can move the character's layer on the Y axis to align him (hold shift when moving up or down to snap to axis).
There could be another problem.. but I though I'd help with this suggestion first.

The follow path tool uses the layer's origin to align the object. Before using it, move the Origin of the character layer to the bottom of the wheel.
