The new features look amazing, can't wait.
And if "Edit Multiple Layers in the Timeline" means one can move the position of 'deep' Keyframes just by working on the top layer, I'm buying a bottle of champagne
Cheers!

or, if you did have auto fill/stroke on - you can "delete shape" -- this DOES NOT delete the path - IOW it leaves the points and the path(s) connecting them! The system of paths as potential shapes is quite peculiar to ASP, as far as I know. It works fine, actually, but I guess I just nee...

That's it, that's my conceptual (and practical) mistake. I keep on trying to tell ASP to create shapes where they already exist. Once they are created, I gather, there is no more re-creating (say, punching a square hole in a circle using two existing shapes), so to speak. I have to keep in mind that...

There's one thing I cant' seem to ever learn. It's the one thing I need to go a look at tutorials every time, and it's not by far the most complicated: it's... making shapes with holes! I just can't memorise the drill, there's something about the create shape procedure that eludes me and won't make ...

Woah! Great, perfect! Thanks!

Can the Transform Bone tool stretch a layer in two dimensions ant the same time? I sometimes use the Transform Bone tool to change the dimensions of the character's body parts (to simulate a cartoon stretch and squash effect) but if I operate the bone's stretching function (by acting on the little c...

True, I use those commands all day long. I just hadn't thought of using them for looping a cycle.

Ah, hadn't thought of that. Clever idea, thanks!

Let's see if I can explain what I mean. Say I have a cycle of 48 frames. The keyframe of frame 48 is therefore identical to the keyframe on frame 1. If I change the keyframe on frame 1 and want the cycle to be correct, I must paste keyframe 1 to keyframe 48. But that automatically loses the cycle be...

I did this in freehand, it's pretty limited animation but it shows the possibilities for sketchy drawing and I am sure the freehand tools will only get better with each version. o-FaqyvywxY Hey, great, very fresh looking animation chucky! Thanks for sharing. True, one can get very loose and artisti...

Drumlug, I can see what you mean. I find that ASP11's vector drawing tools are very good indeed providing you 'build' characters and stuff point by point, or by modelling raw shapes. Where I find it can be a little frustrating is in freehand drawing (the Freehand tool is much better than it used to ...

That pretty much nails my doubts. The smallness of the UI, on a small screen. I am looking at the 13" Cintiq because I work very often on the go. But screen size is not the only doubt. For example, like everyone, I tend to work with keyboard shortcuts a lot. How does that change on a Cintiq? On...

Since November, when I first started using it, ASP11 has rapidly become one of the applications I use the most. Now I'm thinking about buying a Cintiq 13 HD (it would be my first Cintiq, so far I've been using regular tablets, the latest being an Intuos 5 touch), and while I have no doubt it will be...

Thank you for that explanation. True, I did notice that fork feature and found it useful. Not seeing the line form as one goes along is a little strange and needs a little getting used to when you come from most other vector drawing, on the other hand ASP's vectors are really fun and flexible once y...

Well, the bucket solution is another way I didn't know about. Quite similar to 'create shape', I guess. I admit that being able to see the line 'live', so to speak, as you go along creating it point by point, would be nice. I find the two-step procedure of point-building and then attributing propert...
