Hi,

I=E2=80=99ve pasted a mask as a motion path into the emitter=E2=80=99s XY p=
osition. My
custom particle is an arrowhead made from a shape layer. I=E2=80=99ve reduc=
ed the
emitter=E2=80=99s velocities down to zero and reduced the particles/sec cou=
nt to 12
so I get a simple stream of arrow heads drawing on along a the pasted path.

How can I get the arrowhead to follow the path in a perpendicular fashion?

Auto orienting the particle layer to a path doesn=E2=80=99t work as the pat=
h is on
another layer. Is this even possible within Particular?

Thanks.
