I'm using the Point At and also the Snap Alighment to Motion behaviors and these work using the green axis arrow as the "forward" direction but that's not the "front" of my artwork. Can you rotate the anchor point? How do you change the default direction for these behaviors?
Thank you!

Maybe you should try changing the Axis parameter in the behavior?
Thanks for the reply.
The axis parameter only tells the behavior what axis to rotate around as it rotates to point at the parent object.
I've added a screenshot to show what I'm talking about – a simple line in Motion with an arrow end cap with the "Point At" behavior applied. The yellow circle is the parent. The arrow doesn't point at the circle. The top of the arrow's anchor is what's pointing at the circle. I need to rotate the arrow around it's anchor point so that the "top", the part of the arrow that the Point At behavior uses to point, is aligned with the arrowhead. Make sense?
Thanks
Perhaps you should move the anchor point of the error so that it is at the arrow tip?
I need to be able to rotate with the anchor tool.
It worked for me. I drew the line horizontally to start with giving me an aligned anchor point. I used the point at behaviour as you have on X axis. When I move the yellow circle the arrow always points right at the circle.
Did you draw your arrow horizontally to start with?
There is a trick when you need to rotate the anchor point: Rotate the image until it is aligned with one axle and incorporate it into a new group, you can now apply the "Point at" behavior to the new group, so the image contained will move in the desired direction
…different attemp, forget PointAt etc:
everything centered, 0/0 for a start
then, position arrows anchor to the sun
add rate to make it rotate.
Now:
change groups anchor point, apply rate:
sun rotates around some center, arrow orbits around sun ...
see? Anchor point of sun not moved/centered; anchor point of Arrow shifted to suns center; finally, groups Anchor shifted to somewhere in space.. where noone hears you scream... oops, sorry, lost! 😉
how's that?
Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for the responses!
Change direction "Point At" and "Snap Alignment to Motion"??
