Is it possible?

Is it possible to use Active Object and select path movement, but additionaly add to it that when the object is moving, its leaving a line behind it? Lets say object is a "pencil" and its drawing a line.

Many Thanks guys for Your suggestions.

Yes - most simply, you could uncheck the "Save background" option in the object's properties and select "Replace with color" on the option below it. You could also Always -> "Add backdrop" on the object in the Event Editor.

Hi DavidN
Thanks for the answer
i do like the first option its exacly what i wanted its just the line which is being drawn is the size of the object, and i wanted it to be thiner. Any ways going round this one ? Thanks !

You could have an active object that is the sze you want following it and have that making the line.

Yeah, just use the event Always "Set Position..." and choose Relative to another object.

hmm for some reason its not drawing if i use "always" option. It only works if i create a path for itself. So i tried oposit way round make a big object follow small one but it doesnt follow. In fact it dissapiers... any suggestions ? Thanks

right so thats all sorted now the problem is if i cover the object with a bigger object then its not drawing, any idea how to set it so the object is ignoring it ?
