I want to grow a curve or an object from a path, sort of like in cursive handwriting. Do I have to set something up, like create an outline object, or can I select a path in the parameters.
I’m stumped.

To emulate write on effect you can make use of Advanced Outlines.
You can use different techniques when use Advanced Outlines to achieve the effect due to its versatility.

Neat little thing. Not what I expected, but I’ll try it out. I’m hoping to achieve something like this method. Thanks Genete
Quite difficult to do animation. I’ll try to follow the Advanced Outline method. Wish there was a tut that covers what you did.
I hope it helps.

I will have to work on steps 3 onwards, as I have no idea where to shut off the animation – maybe from both Position and Width, and I only see two widthpoint list on Params.
Edit:
Question, do you do the animation in Parameters – Do you change the Position to 0 (to cut it off) in the Windpoint 002 at the first frame, yet do your changes at the width?
I appreciate a response.
UPDATE:
I think I’m getting the hang of it. I also selected Rounded Stop on the second Widthpoint and selected 0 on both Widthpoints to do write-in. Now, all I need to do is to figure out how to do the thickness of the line width.
I’m still gonna play around it and see what I can come up with.
P.S. Many Thanks
