I love how this update of Anim8or is going. I've been using this software for years. I was slow getting proficient and had a long learning problem with 3D and the Anim8or UI. Three years ago I forced myself to use it daily until I worked out all of my confusion. I worked the tutorials until my brain lit up.

I'm still choking up on the Blender UI but Anim8or has helped me there too.

I'm a 2D animator and long time computer programmer. This update has made my 3D work great!

Thanks for all the work.

To anyone who might know the answer, is there still no alternative for the middle mouse button? I use a wacom tablet and have no way of using a middle click/mouse wheel. I relied on the keyboard short cut heavily and now its gone. It really slows down my workflow in newer builds.

Maybe Steve would consider generalising Shift+LMB as a substitute for MMB. It doesn't seem like that would be in conflict with any current bindings.

Quote from: Steve
LMB+Shift: Dissolve edge or point.  Does not clean up since it's sometimes ambiguous to know what to clean-up. It's simple for the user to click again to do thins since it's just a repeated click.

Its already taken too, just like Ctrl+Shift+LMB was.

Havnt heard anything on Ctrl+Alt+LMB yet, it should work so long as you press ctrl first. If you press Alt first it should use Arc-rotate. Arc-Rotate MMB action can still be done via eye>scale for those on some laptops

Actually, its funny, the laptop I was using actually has scrolling sides, but since Win10 the driver doesnt allow it. The mouse options have a tone of stuff to do with it, but it never functions.

I thought about that, and that isn't a conflict. Going with Shift+LMB = MMB would simply make MMB do the same thing in the topo knife, where it previously did nothing.

Does extrude edges not work anymore if you have more than 1 edge selected?

Extrude Edge should work with multiple selected edges.  Make sure that the edges have only one face attached.

That is strange. I just ran a test this moment: had a mesh cube, cut the bottom face, selected the open edges and tried to extrude it. It didn't work. it simply deselected the edges.

It's working fine here. :-)

PS. Thanks for the Knife tool update, Steve. Works great!

fromsoysauce: After you select the edges click-drag directly on one of the selected edges to extrude them.  If you click on something else they are deselected. This is slightly different from the other tools and I'll make it act more like the others.

I had my auto-save to a removable drive, then one day was using anim8or  with the drive out, it posted about a dozen errors.   Now it won't auto-save anywhere I set the CONFIGURATION settings to.   Any ideas?

Steve, Im not sure that refrence images should be exported in obj and stl.
Im not sure when they started to be exported but it means removing them before exporting which I forget since they are in a hidden layer.

Refrence images should be an8 only, If they are to be exported they should explicitly be converted to mesh.

I guess you could add a questionbox on exporting stating
"You have 1 or more reference images in this object.
Do you want to export these too?
YES NO"

Hypure: I'll look into the auto-save problem.

Trevor: You're right, reference images aren't really a part of the model.  They shouldn't be exported.

#098-078 - Auto-save to a removable drive problem.
#098-079 - Reference images shouldn't be exported in obj and stl.
