Is it possible to convertCoordinates from a drawSVG drawn element to other elements?

[Bjarne Skov]

Hi there.

Below is a cheat solution that looks like what I'm trying to achieve.

It's the redRadius which is running the show. I've just set the stroke-opacity:0.
It'd be nice if it was possible to convertCoordinates from the green arch to the lines of the surrounding square.
But so fare I've had no luck.
Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Bjarne

Hi @Bjarne Skov. I read your question a few times and I'm pretty lost. Are you saying you think there's a problem with the current implementation or are you requesting a new feature?

Hi,

 

You mean something like this?

If not please be super specific about what you intend to do.

 

Happy Tweening!

Hi Rodrigo

 

The green "Arch" is created with drawSVG.
If I omit the "redRadius" below and replace it with the "Arch", no coordinates are converted.
var p = MotionPathPlugin.convertCoordinates(redRadius, piston, armTip);

 

So it's probably a new feature I'm requesting or I'll have to find another way to solve the problem.

Hi Jack

After I learned this "convertCoordinates" thing, I became quite fascinated with it.

 

I realize now that I'm exaggerating it and am attempting to use it where it's not suitable. 
I'm sure there are other ways that the MotionPathPlugin can solve this.

Yep that I can see. The problem is that I can't seem to understand what's the issue you're having or what you are intending to do, that's why I asked to be as specific as possible about your objective here.

 

Happy Tweening!

Yep, I'm in the same boat as @Rodrigo 🤷‍♂️
