I need to create many circular arrows to indicate angular dimensions like this:

Currently I first create a circle and then I draw the arc arrow over it, but I wonder if there is a simpler way in AS 9 Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I'd combine a full circle with a mask that has an open vector. Arrowhead on top.

you also can use a circle and animate it using stroke exposure. For the point, you can make a new layer with it and use follow path (with "rotate to follow path" checked in the layer proprieties).

Thank you very much.

Hi selgin,
I followed your suggestion but I have some difficulties to link the point symbol (triangle) to the path, the problem is that the triangle does not exactly follow the circle but it follows a distorted circle:





What am I doing wrong?
Also, when I activate the Follow Path command, AS9 says: Click on a path to follow, and drag to set the position on the path (hold <Alt> to bend layer). However when I click on the circle to set the path I have no evidence that I correctly selected the right path. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, I’m not able to extend the exposure beyond the original lower point of the circle, what’s wrong?

Thanks.

Much easier to place the origin of that arrow layer at the center of your circle, then just rotate the layer!

Ok, thanks slowtiger.
What about the impossibility to extend the exposure beyond the lower point of the circle?

It is a feature request already postponed to a later version. You should rotate the layer around the center of the circle. A bone place there might help.

Hi Genete,
it is strange because I have another circle (curve 1 layer below) and in that circle the exposure extension works fine.
