Hey Sean,

You can change your "Display" settings for showing it's keyframed path here:

Edit -> Preferences -> Display

Once here, just click on the "All KeyFrames" radial button.

As Benny mentioned, I would simply just animate with 3D stroke to get the
path of the object in question.

If you need any other help free feel to contact me off list. :)

Cheers.

- Andrew
