Like this (http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/xsidocs/objects_DuplicatingandCloningObjects.htm#Xap483564 ), which is from the XSI docs?

The Sukio Dupalong works great, i use it all the time, but unfortunately it doesn't work on 64bit XSI and the UVW-Duplicate Feature is broken in any version of XSI newer than 4.2...

now i'd like to animate it
if i set the path all the pieces start from the beginning
if i change the path age they start in the right places
but all the pieces are going to the same place
it's a little hard to explain (my english is not perfect)
if u guys don't know how to answer could u please tell me some good tutorial?

i figure out how to that
i set the path % in 3% in the first frame and 103 % in the last and then 6 106
the problem is that it's really slow process
is there a faster way?
