Okay, I'm making a bone rig of a beetle. The parent layer is a bone layer, and it is filled with numerous vector layers for all the body parts. I'm using region binding with the connecting-layers-to-bones method. Here's the problem. There are ten vector layers for the many segments of the antennae, ...

Ah! More new bone-related info. Thanks!

Can't test this right now, but it would simplify the riggs I'm working with right now. In the moment they have put a bunch of bone layers inside a switch layer. Eliminating this would allow to use just one bone timeline while switching between shapes. Yeh, I bet that would simplify the animation pr...

I just noticed that you can add bones to a switch layer ! I've always assumed bones only belong in bone layers, so this newly-discovered feature blows my mind. It's like if a Jedi had a lightsaber for years and years and then one day noticed a button that made it work like a flashlight. Whoa. Anyhow...

I think the "bug" requires moving layers out of a switch with bones and into a new bone layer... I read Genete's description when he first documented it and realized it was possible to do in the course of working with AS but... not something that would happen a lot of the time. Oh. Well, ...

Hm. The bug didn't manifest. Possibly several quirky events must be done in a certain order within a duplicated bone layer containing a switch layer in order for the bug to appear? It's a nasty bug, if your bone rig ever catches it. No bones can be deleted in the affected rig, even new bones. And if...

Cool! I'd never noticed those scale values before. Thanks! Using them is waaay better than my scaling-the-square method. Regarding the bug question...I'm not 100% sure about the cause. I thought duplicating a switch layer in a bone layer was the culprit, because somebody else thought it was. But I d...

I've come up with a good work-around. I made a green square under the original bone layer, then I copied/pasted the square into the new bone layer. It arrived shrunk, of course. So I selected the new bone layer and translated and scaled it until the copy of the square fit perfectly over the original...

Oh, I was staying away from doing that because I have switch layers in the bone layer, and it's my understanding that a bug manifests when duplicating layers in a bone layer that possesses a switch sub-layer. The bug causes the application to crash when attempting to delete a bone. I had this proble...

That's exactly what I did. I wanted everything a little bigger in the original bone layer so I could see more detail when doing renders. Is there a way to transfer that scaling to the new bone layer? Or strip away the scaling from the original bone layer? I tried copying the frame 0 keyframe for &qu...

Hi, Tony here. I have a bone layer with several vector layers in it. I made a second bone layer and copied some vector art into the new bone layer. I copied the vector art by means of select all/copy then pasted the copied vector art into an empty vector layer in the second bone layer. The problem i...

You're welcome.

Tony

Update. I killed the bone. The slow and time-consuming way. I created a new bone layer filled with a new bone rig and empty vector layers, then copied and pasted all the art from the buggy bone rig into this new one. Then I deleted the buggy bone rig. I win! Tony: 1, Moho bone-bug: 0. Cripes, that d...

Dang, I couldn't get Genete's step-by-step to work.

%&@#* bone, refusing to die.
