Howdy,

Any idea on the scale issue?

Also I have another question regarding Undo. I've added:

> \> doc->AddUndo(UNDO_NEW,track); \>

after inserting the track and then added:

> \> doc->AddUndo(UNDO_CHANGE,track); \>

before setting a key value.

Is this the correct way to handle the undo? I can't tell for sure from the SDK documentation. I'm assuming that since the track is "inserted" the undo should come after with an "UNDO_NEW", but I'm not sure about the key whether the undo should be on the key itself with "UNDO_NEW" or if it should be on the track with "UNDO_CHANGE".

It seems to work OK (not crashing) the way I have it, but I just want to double check to make sure it's correct. ;o)

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Sorry, I can not confirm the scale problem, this is working fine here using your description example. Maybe there is something wrong in your code creating the cloned container?

As for the undo handling, you call UNDO_NEW after allocating and inserting. You call UNDO_CHANGE before you do any change.

This is the thing that is puzzling me because the code is the same for creating the position and rotation cloned containers. I'll have to investigate elsewhere. :o(

Right. That's what I got from the SDK Documentation, I just wanted to confirm if my assumption that adding a key to a track was considered a "change" to the track. Is my assumption correct?

You should use UNDO_NEW on the things you insert. So if you inserting keys you should use the pointer to the key in AddUndo().

Howdy,

OK, so are you saying that this is wrong:

> \> doc->AddUndo(UNDO_CHANGE,trackX); \> CKey \*keyX = trackX->GetCurve()->AddKey(time); if (!keyX) return FALSE; \> keyX->SetValue(trackX->GetCurve(),value.x); \>

... and it should be like this?:

> \> CKey \*keyX = trackX->GetCurve()->AddKey(time); if (!keyX) return FALSE; \> keyX->SetValue(trackX->GetCurve(),value.x); \> doc->AddUndo(UNDO_NEW, keyX); \>

The confusing part for me is that it's adding a new key, but the function name to add the key doesn't have the word "Insert" in it. So my assumption was since it wasn't an "Insert" or an "Alloc" function, then use the first example with UNDO_CHANGE.

Sorry, but sometimes my obsessive compulsiveness surfaces and causes these little problems of comprehension. :oD

As soon as you are creating an object and insert it into something you have to use this object with AddUndo() and UNDO_NEW. I agree it can be a bit confusing sometimes. But if you think about it the AddKey() function is doing exactly this, allocating and inserting keys :)

So yes this would be the correct one:

> \> Key \*keyX = trackX->GetCurve()->AddKey(time); if (!keyX) return FALSE; \> doc->AddUndo(UNDO_NEW, keyX); \> keyX->SetValue(trackX->GetCurve(),value.x); \>

Howdy,

Well, upon further investigation I found the scale problem elsewhere in my code.

Yee-Ha! Now my tag has it's own AutoKey() function working perfectly in R9.6, R10 and R11! :o)

Thanks, Matthias, for all your help and patience.

Hi Dan,

For your information, it turned out that AutoKey works for Tbaselist4D types only. Tags are of Tbaselist2d type. This should be fixed in a future update of Cinema.
