Line width keeps changing to default (100)

Post by Hugging_Bear »

Hi Guys,
I created a smart wrap layer and added some lines. The default line width seize is 100 but that's too thick for fine adjustments. I changed it to 16. But it keeps changing back to 100. It's quite annoying. Any ideas how to stop doing that? I also experiencing frequent crashes recently (today). I love Moho but I'm quite frustrated right now. :(

Thanks in advance for your help!

you want line width in the styles window, not percentage of width which is what you have in the line width (at point) tool. Select all the shapes and reduce the stroke width to about 16% of whatever it says there (say from 6 to 1)

You may have altered Width on a non-0 frame, and Moho thinks you are animating Width.

This can happen if you have Animated Layer Affects activated in Layer Settings, combined with unwanted keyframes for changing Width in a non-0 frame. Scroll down in the timeline and look for a Width channel and delete the keyframes.

Hi Hayasidist,
thanks for your reply. When I go into the smart wrap layer and activate stroke in the style menu, I get lines in the otherwise invisible vectors which make up the structure or 'grit' of the wrap layer. You might try this out yourself! So, this isn't working for me. The problem might be caused by the fact that the animation for this layer start in the sequencer at frame 40 instead of frame 0. But why do I get those thick lines by setting up actions of smart bones dial? Actions should be independent from the mainline.
But thank you anyway!

Hi Hoptoad,
I tried this (removing all key frames from the wrap layer). It seems to do the trick!
Thanks a lot!
