Relative Movements

Is there any way to make the movements of shape be relative to the position? I've noticed that moving the shape around in the shape editing window will do this to some extent but I'm curious if it can be done in a similar way to Light Jockey. It would be nice if the shape movements were somehow detached from the position and I seperate them in my programming.

Somewhat related to this, I would also be interested to know if there is a simple way to set an offset in the movements similar to the "distribute" function built into Light Jockey.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No - you have found the only current way.

Simple way ? No but you can do it. Have a look at this thread - http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforu ... 8802#p8802

I think it has the answers you are looking for.
