Hi there, I'm using the transform animation from SVG-ui node to make some objects move linearly. Everything works great. However, now I need to make a curved animation. I know that there is a property for SVG of motion animation, in which the object follows a path. Is there a way to perform a curved animation in SVG UI?

HI @thalesmaoa,

Currently the _"Animation"_ tabsheet of the ui-svg node does _ **not** _ support curved animations.

Of course you can always add animations yourself to the svg, in this case an `animateMotion` animation element (see example [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/animateMotion)). The disadvantage - compared to the _"Animation"_ tabsheet, is that you can only edit your drawing with an external svg editor that supports animations. I have never looked at that, so I cannot give any advice about this.
