Yeah, I thought that would work too but unfortunately not.= The arrow still won=E2=80=99t point along the path.=C2=A0

Hi,

=C2=A0

I=E2=80=99ve pasted a mask as a motion path into the= emitter=E2=80=99s XY position. My custom particle is an arrowhead made fro= m a shape layer. I=E2=80=99ve reduced the emitter=E2=80=99s velocities down= to zero and reduced the particles/sec count to 12 so I get a simple stream of arrow heads drawing on along a the pasted path.=C2=A0<= /u>

=C2=A0

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

=C2=A0

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

=C2=A0

Thanks.
