Since the axis of the pen is at the same place as selected point you can just trace the pen's axis (uncheck Trace Vertices) without the need for a Matrix object. Good tutorial.

[@JayBaggio]

so what do u drop in the Tracer's "Trace link" box?

[@KatlinSchirmer]

Cool,Thanks.

[@TheIstanblue78]

thanks a lot tutor

[@rafaelwatzke8119]

Nice and short.. Why didn´t you just use the the pencil object with the tracer? Isn´t that possible with R25?

[@plusminus20]

Then it will trace the whole object, tracer object tracing points of the input object. So If we just use the raw pencil, it will trace all the points in that

[@philosophyofreligion]

@@plusminus20 uncheck Trace Vertices on the tracer.

[@plusminus20]

@@philosophyofreligion yes, it will work on this particular case since we have the object axis in the correct place. Otherwise, it will not

[@rafaelwatzke8119]

Ok! Thanks for your thoughts about that.

[@S_Z.]

@@plusminus20 How about null object? What If we just put null in the pencil, reset all coordinates and trace it?
