820 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
To change the anchor point of a replicator source layer:
1 In the Layers tab, select the source.
Although not required to adjust its anchor point, you can enable the source layer so
you can see it in the Canvas.
2 In the Toolbar, select the Adjust Anchor Point tool.
Note: You can also press Tab to cycle through the onscreen control modes.
3 In the Canvas, move the source object’s anchor point.
The alignment of the elements to the replicator shape (the circle) changes based on
the position of the anchor point.
To animate a replicator parameter using a Parameter behavior:
1 Continuing with the above example, select the replicator in the Layers tab.
Note: Remember, you can continue to play back a project while making parameter
adjustments.
2 Control-click the parameter to which you want to add a Parameter behavior (this
discussion uses the Radius parameter), and choose Oscillate from the shortcut menu.
The size of the replicator oscillates in the Canvas, bringing the elements closer together
and further apart through the animation to create yet another look for the replicator
pattern. The Oscillate parameters appear in the Behaviors tab, and a Parameter
behavior icon appears in the Animation menu of the Radius parameter in the
Replicator tab.
3 Adjust the Oscillate parameters, if necessary.
