FBF freehand tool stops working on later frames

Using Moho Pro 12.2. Was really getting into Chucky's FBF template based on reference layers for blue pencil, clean layer, etc. The blue layer worked fine. After 5 frames on the pencil layer the freehand tool only drew blank vector lines. By going to the active frame, I could see the points, but still couldn't get a visible line - not with the line width tool, not not by selecting the points as a shape and trying different styles. If I go back a frame, the freehand tool works again.

Deleting the movie I used as reference to lighten the load on the computer didn't help, either.

Can anyone tell me what's happening? I can upload the file and post a link if necessary.

Thanks,
Steve

I'd have to see a file to troubleshoot it.

Hi Wes,
'Thanks for the quick answer. Here's a direct link to the file: http://singadream.com/4forumfriends_htm ... iedel.moho

Should there be a problem, the page with the link at the top: http://singadream.com/4forumfriends.htm

In the rendering view, the lines are there! And on the frame layer too, now - but I can't draw on individual frame layers, only on the layers above labeled "pencil", "clean", etc., So I can't see what I'm drawing as I draw. It was the same on this computer where I have 12.3 installed instead of 12.2. l suspect it's some simple problem.

Appreciate your help,
Steve

There are duplicates of layers 7, 8, &9 in the Pencil group.

Thanks a million - I only found a duplicate layer 7. When I deleted one (in an out of order position), I could draw on the other frames as hoped, all was normal.

I have no idea how I managed to do that, I wonder if I broke the reference at some point? And if the software then automatically created a duplicate frame 7?

In any case I'm glad it can be repaired - it's good to be able to do FBF and bone rigging with the same software and even in the same scene.

Glad I could help. That animation looks good so far.

Thanks for your kind words. If I get the closing hand done, I'll post it.
