I am a retiree and new user. Back in July of 2011 I bought Anime Studio Pro 8, Poser 8 and Toon Boom Studio 5.0 as animation seemed a good hobby for me. I am very impressed with Anime Studio technically and the product user community found here and elsewhere. Perhaps I over-reached as I have yet to ...

(using the 'rotate layer XY' tool) I have no conceptual ideas regarding this, howe...

Clearly no other lack of feature has upset so many. I am incensed as I value my time and cannot bill Smith Micro for the hours wasted trying to load in perfectly good archival (eps!) clip art to save time.
