I am happy to use pathfinder 2.
it is very interesting.
I have a question.  Any body has idea plz help me.
I am making a tanker with tread moving.
The tread is smoothly moved using pathfinder when pathfinder is standstill.
Now I have to move the tanker on road.
When the tanker moves… the smooth tread (chain) movements are distorted.
How to move the tanker along with the animated tread???

I hope somebody will reply for my Pathfinder problem.
Pathfinder makes animated chain or function for a system.
But how to animate the whole system to move on something else.
Examples: How to animate a moving bull-dozer with chains rolling.?

in the link editor, under the inherit tab, is your object and path having the “inherit position” checked? normally I’ll uncheck all except “inherit Scale”

another one is you need to zero out the position and rotation of your object before link to pathfinder, hope this help… smile
