animation/ungroup/remove object/regroup

[Jonathan B. Jung]

Hello,

I have a presentation slide with a balance in it. The balance tips to one
side, then I want to remove one of the object on one side of the balance,
now the balance goes back to the neutral position. The problem: the
balance and the objects are grouped together. After the animated 45 degree
spin I can't remove an object unless I ungroup.

Is there any way I can do the grouped 45 degree clockwise spin, go to my
next slide (which is already at 45 degrees, but ungrouped) remove the
object, go to a third slide (which is still at the 45 degree position,
regrouped) and the do a 45 degree counterclockwise spin?

I've been working on this for a while an cannot come up with a answer. does
anyone have any ideas?????

I would not split this up on three (or more) slides. Work with an ungrouped
balance. Move the objects with the scales, using an animation path (start:
with previous). Apply an exit animation to the object. Rotate the balance
and move the remaining objects (if any) up again with motion paths. Enable
Guides and Snap to grid to work more exact.
