That's not a bad idea.
It would be nice to also have general copy/paste functionality in Lightwave,
though.
For example, I had to size an earth object to a specific size with something
like a ten number string (in order to make an accurate earth for use in
conjunction with World Construction Set, the new Lightwave compatible
landscape program. In Lightwave I had to type this number string
three times for the X, Y and Z size.
Would be nice to just type it once and then paste it into the other fields.
Allen and Stuart, would it be difficult to add copy/paste functions to
all fields (Amiga-C and Amiga-V)?
BTW, Modeler rounded the string more severely than Lightwave, but neither
could take the whole thing.
Best,
-Jamie
PS. I voted against the change to the reply field in the list, as it
was convenient to reply directly to the list. Of all the people on the
list I felt the mistaken replies were few, far between, and quickly
corrected. This way adds a few steps to replying to the list. I hope
that doesn't impede the excellent information, feedback and tips for
which this list has been invaluable.
