New to Bones:

Hi, I am just getting started with bones. I have a character in a vector image that I would like to add bones to, but cannot figure out how to get my figure to the bones layer. It won't copy and paste and of course imports to a new layer. Any tips?

Thanks! :P

Just drag and drop it!

Drag your vector layer over the bone layer, when this gets red, drop it. Now it's inside the bone layer.

(It seems this step was left out of the manual, at least in my version 6.)

If I may add, make sure the little arrow on the bone layer is pointing down.

Thanks!

That was most helpful! I could not find it in the book at all.

:D

Yes, the manual is skimpy at best in some areas! :)
