Moving a Group Smoothly

[Roger Guay]

One other thing:

Try  "move group "SettingsDialog"  to 291,351 in 50 milliseconds”. You don’t need the from and you do need the duration time

Cheers,

Roger

I realize it was never so great years ago, but I've been doing so much server side LC work in the past few years and hardly touched the presentation layer of app development until recently...and all my in house production tools apps are very plain/functional designs with zero eye candy.   I thought motion would have much improved by now. What am I doing wrong?
