Creating continuous motion paths

[Guest]

I would like to have an object travel around an eliptical motion path
continuously, without pausing at the beginning before each revolution. Is it
possible to do this in XP? I can't seem to make it keep going without a pause.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Does checking smooth start/smooth end on the animation effect options make
any difference?

Hi Echo S,

I did try that and it didn't seem to do anything one way or another. Think
I'll try again though just in case I missed something. Thanks for the help.

P.S. I tried un-clicking smooth start and stop and that did the trick. Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction.

Oh, how funny that turning those *off* would work!

Thank you for posting back with what worked for you.

Kinda makes sense once it's kicked you.

In nature, stuff doesn't accelerate instantly from 0 to 60 and decel back to 0
again, so to be realistic, an animation can't do the same. It has to
accelerate/decelerate gradually. That's what the two "Smooth" options do.

If the end = the beginning and there's no logical reason for the thing to
accelerate/decelerate at that point, turning smoothing off would do the job.

Thank you for posting back with what worked for you.
