importing splines

importing splines

Hi,

I'm trying to import a .svg file from Illustrator. I want to lathe it, and have done this successfully a few moments ago. I went back to alter the Illustrator file, making some small alteration before making a compound path, and re-saving as the .svg file (as before).

Here is the problem: When I import the file again, and lathe it, I cannot move it or change the size or rotation.

If I then close that Cheetah file and open a new file, after importing the spline I can move it again.

How do I make the spline active so I can move it around?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 / Cheetah 2.6.1
Thanks,
Greg

That is because you´re in default "Object-mode) when starting Cheetah3d. In the other case you´re in "Component-mode" and nothing seemed selected. So go in point mode select what you want and translate it. Or move the whole spline in object mode.

Cheers
Frank
