Changing intervals during Follow the Leader....

Frequently in my writing, I find myself needing to individually adjust about 10-15 dots with the track editing tool to allow spaces to stay open. Is there anyway to do a follow the leader - but allow the interval to change? I think this would perform the same effect in the animation.

Or maybe a feature in the morph tool that allows you to trace the path? Maybe a compound move option?!?

If anyone has found a better way to do this without editing each person individually (edit tracking) I'd appreciate feedback!

I run py 7.1.5 on Windows Vista

To adjust the interval in a FTL you will need to do it in 2 steps.

1) Draw your new form with the interval you want.
2) Select the form and choose FTL and then you can adjust the path on how it gets to the form by shift clicking on the path to add more editing handles.

These same steps can be used with the Track tool as well.
