okay i just tried this in the edit menu choose the simply straight path select it and in it attributes select "show origen handle next (from top view) zoom in and drag the green origen point so it overlaps the blue dot at the beginning of the path. now select an object (tori) and in its attributes select the linking tab and under object parent select the simply strait path whoa.. yet new options will reveal themselves select "constrain to path" and leave the position at zero this will move the object to the beginning of the path. now for the really cool part set up your animation lets say 3 seconds now select the path and the object and go to the multi replicate dialog ( under the edit menu) under quantity select 90 under rotate Y axis select 4( by the way this is why you relocated the origin handle) with all the objects selected add a keyframe now drag the animation slider to the end ( 5 Sec) now with all the objects selected open the attribute and now enter 100 in the position( this will move all the objects to the end of the path) add a keyframe and playback if you needed to you could convert some objects to other things to break it up. and reposition the paths Hope this helps good luck Hawkfyr
