I also think Amelia's reasoning is sound. Transformation is a fairly long word, and we can't shorten it to transform-path because that suggests that transform would be a shorthand. But what if we reversed the terms? path-transform (shorthand) path-transform-shape (= motion-path / offset-path) path-transform-anchor (=offset-anchor) path-transform-offset (= offset-position) path-transform-distance (= offset-distance) path-transform-rotation (=motion-rotation / offset-rotation) Thanks, Alan
