Re: XSI Montreal "Tips & Tricks" session, looking for presenters

Hi Luc-Eric,

I´ll see if I can put together a reproducable setup asap.
...

Voilá. Got one. Sorry for attaching, my domain is down,
seems my host (strato) is down, too. Can´t access my server.

*.zip contains a *.scn file for XSI 5.1 Foundation.

Select the wheel and scale it by entering 2 into
the KP/L scale attributes, hit enter.

Object jumps away. Scares me alot.

Cheers

tim
