what is the "replace line" tool

Post by montblankdesign »

I finally installed the expanded tools and what a great improvement for speed and ease of use. But I am unsure the use of replace line.

What is this tool for?
Thanks for your help
I do cartoons and make music. I like to make music because John K is not likely to tell me I am doing it wrong.

replace line is a wonderful tool.

you can use this way:
- in frame 0 draw a line with freehand (or add points if you want)
- in frame 12 (or whatever) select the points of the line, and using the replace line tool, redraw the line, but make it different.

now the line will transform from the first form, to the second.

That is awesome for cell style. I really can't parise the benefits of Fazeks tools enough.
