Rotating letters from an absolute point.

I want words to spin around with the edges of the text delayed.  I was thinking fracture object or motext, but when i put in a plane effector, each letter rotates based on the center of itself.  Can I have them all rotate around a single point like the effector or a null?
Thanks!

Hi SethO,

You have to place the Effector into the Word tab/field.

https://help.maxon.net/us/#OMOGRAPH_TEXT-MGTEXTOBJECT_GROUPWORD.

This should do it, and take the Effector out of the Letter field.

All the best
