copy keyframes from mainline into an action?

[Gnocchi]

K, so I accidently made a walkcycle in the mainline instead of in an action.
How do I copy these frames into an action?
copy / paste doesnt work?

All the time lines work the same way so just create a new action and insert the main time line into the action. The same way you insert an action into the main time line.

This is probably a stupid question but I'm new to this program. I have ASP 5.6 and don't understand how to do the reverse. When I create something in actions it has a name that I can insert into the main timeline. But when I create something in the main timeline there is no way to group keyframes and name them, right?

thanks

Ditto

I have done it in the past and even have an example file saved but.....@$@#$ can I find the thing? NO.!
Can I remember...? NO.!

I don't currently have to do this but am pretty sure I will in time.

yes, there is a way.
for example, you have two actions (i'll name them "with" and "without").
"with" have ketframes and the "without" haven't.

you must select "without" -using double click- and go to the frame 1, then you must make one click on "with" and press "insert copy" (in the action window).

this way, both action will have the same keyframes.
i hope i have explained it well.
