mmmm....ive turned the laptop off and on and still no pivot points..ive even tested it out on a few simple shapes in a new project window....it always names the body part but never produces any pivots...any more idea ibis?Sorry for the delay. Was out fishing and my phone died. My phone was all i had to work with at the time hahaha
This has happened a couple times. It seems that its due heavy load occurring on the PC at the time Puppet Producer is trying to draw the pivot points for the first time. The software then thinks it already drew them so when it tries to pull them from the library, it doesn't find anything.
If estarting didnt work then, the basic fix is to draw or add the pivot points yourself. Just manually draw two circles with an x in the middle to represent the pivots. Convert one into a movie clip symbol named "pivot" and the second one called "nud".
In the library panel create a folder named "pivots" and place the two symbols in there. You shouldn't have that issue again.
enclosed is a FLA (made with flash CC so not sure if it will work on your version) but you can open it and just drag and drop the pivots into your owns project library if you don't wanna draw them yourself.
