Move animation down in the grid


Paul B. Anderson

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have drawn my animation and added things higher than the animation window. I am wondering if it is possible to move the current drawing down to make room for the new stuff up high visible in the animation; without re-drawing the entire animation. If I need to re-draw, oh well, something to do at work.........hehe.


I know, bad time of year to ask a menial question.....when others may have bigger probs.......

But it's a great time of year to give menial answers...

Sadly, if you want to rearrange your animation you have to re-draw it. There's scuttlebutt about a new visualizer in which that might not be necessary, but for the here and now it doesn't exist. At least you get to keep busy on the job...

Thanx for the reply George.

I'll start re-drawing as time allows.....it's not that important right now.

I was kidding about doing it during work hours...I come in early everyday to beat traffic and have some time to kill before hitting the grind stone; don't want anyone to think I'm slackin' on the job when jobs are hard to come by these days.

I just figured you were a government worker. From what I've seen personally if we got rid of internet access in almost all government offices, and removed Solitaire from every PC, productivity would skyrocket

You may want to look at two threads within this forum. They both refer to modifying the .lcc file using a free program such as XML notepad. It takes a little understanding, but I successfully modified my drawing using the .xml file created by user "ItsMeBobO", and it saved a ton of time.

And the very important "Shift" file can be seen here . . .

It's very important to note that the column change in the .xsl file has to be a negative number to move the screen to the right



Hope this helps.
