Thanks for this - I'll see if I can adapt it convincingly - the style I'm working with is more on the toon-ish side - like illustrated instructions - but I needed animation to indicate to indicate, among other things, the route of the cord . This approach seems easier than a simulation where you are pushing and pulling the end of the rope.

Hi - I am making a product installation video and I need to animate a piece of cord being passed through a series of irregularly spaced holes, then being pulled taut. What is the simplest method to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
