Thanks for your articles, Chris!  Is there a way to print them out or save them as PDF w/o the ads so I may read them when not near WiFi?

To answer your question, there is not a way to do it numerically; you have to double-click the path to get the Free Transform box and move it.

To answer your problem, here's how to paste paths from Illustrator to AE shape layers and have them maintain their relative positions:

good luck -
Chris

I've pasted a bunch of paths into AE from illustrator, and converted them to shape layers. Now i need to center the anchor point so they scale and rotate from the center of what would be their bounding box. These shapes are not parametric shapes so they don't have their individual transform controls. Is there a way to do this numerically? or do i have to manually eye it?
