I finally did figure out what I was doing wrong with the download! But, I'm not sure if the plug-in was written differently. What I'm trying to accomplish, is to let's say.... Create a trace line that might be 2 pixels in size, around an object and be able to designate its distance from the object, maybe let's say 30 pixels away. I was sure that I had been able to do this under Effects before the update, but I can't see where it is now allowing me to determine the distance from the object, even with the new plug-in. Thanks So vey much for your your dedication, help and suggestions!
