When switching from a bone layer to one of its vector layers, it doesn't automatically select the point tool. If the point tool is selected, I have no trouble. 5.6 always selected the point tool when switching to any vector layer. I'm not sure I understand that change either.

Yeah, I think there's bound to be some confusion over how the tools are combined in 6. In 5.6 the rotate layer x/y are tools, since you have interaction with the rotation, but the flip layer x/y are buttons because they offer no interaction. Granted any button could be made into a tool that does its...

I'm assuming you mean the one I'm working? Until they fix the scripting console in version 6 you'll have to wait (or I decide to do it the very hard way in 5.6).

I'd like to get back the flip layer tool which seems like an easy thing to do except when you have no error checking in AS 6. This is what *doesn't* work: ... which is basically just cut and paste from the old tool and your new way of doing it. But it doesn't do anything and I must be missing somet...

I spent a lot of time once tracking down the exact reason for that bug. Apparently it can't be fixed (so I'm told).

No, not the layers. I only really checked out the "rest" layer. If you keep selecting the shape with the select shape tool and deleting, you'll find that there are five or more shapes on that mouth curve. Well you select and it shows the checkerboard pattern you'll be down to the last one ...

Okay guess what? This is the SAME behavior in AS 5.6!!!! Bullshit. Straight out and without reservations. I just tested it. Sure, 5.6 does have this as a redraw issue, but it easily corrects itself. Follow the damn steps in 6.0. DON'T ADD THE STEP OF APPLYING THE ACTION TO THE MAINLINE. Before you ...

Vern, Look, I haven't even been able to save most the time with my 'final' registered ASD6 and never with the Pro demo. And that little rant must have felt good, because you didn't even get close to telling the guy what the problem was. Go back to giving us useless smart ass remarks instead of usele...

Yeah, new projects are more likely to have this trouble. Basically, if you're creating actions in v6 it can cause this trouble. Just loading old files is not a good test. Hint, hint Vern, do this: 1. start a new project 2. create one group layer with two vector layers inside it 3. create a shape on ...

Vern, do this: 1. start a new project 2. create one group layer with two vector layers inside it 3. create a shape on each (so you can see the layer sorting) 4. remember how they are currently sorted (this is important) 5. create a new action on the group layer and swap the vector layer order on fra...

I assume Vern doesn't use actions for layer ordering much, since he has his complex bone rigs for turns. Regardless, this is still a lose of functionality, which I still say shouldn't occur. It's nice that we finally got back v5.5 png transparency when saving from the render window, reportedly. I gu...

Much of the manual has still not been updated (even up to 5.6). That bit is from before the layer ordering feature. You do however have to check "animated layer ordering" in the depth sort tab of that immediate grouping layers settings. PITA. There really should be an "animated layer ...

I can't for the life of me get any keyframes to show up on the Group layer unless I actually do something to the Group layer. There is no reason it should unless you have keys on that Group layer's channels in the Action. There'd be nothing else to show up. If there is, then it is the showing up tha...

Thanks Adrian. I try.
