Deselect the object (click in a gray area of the Canvas) and play the project (press the
Space bar).

The replicator elements rotate and increase in size over time to create a pinwheel.

Tip: A simple way to create a new look for a replicator is to move the position of the
source object’s anchor point. You can continue to play the project while you adjust the
anchor point until you create a look that you like.

To change the anchor point of a replicator source object:

1

In the Layers tab, select the source object. Although not required to adjust its anchor
point, you can enable the source object 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.
