How to change a pic's position within Switch layer

Post by mercuryrising »

Hey! sorry that I am asking another question again XD

Is it possible to move an image position within a switch layer? say I have imported character sprites from a game and put them all into a switch layer. But the walking position of the character doesnt lineup with its other poses. Is it possible for me to move the image (not the switch layer) so that I can align all of the poses properly? Or do i have to do it outside somehow?

A switch layer works like a group or bone layer: you can move everything that's inside to your like.

Tip: import your walk cycle images into a group layer, then align them (which is easy because all are visible), and finally change the group layer into a switch alyer.
