I downloaded the 3 zip files earlier today but can't find a file MotionLink.reg in any of the 3 unzipped folders. I searched all 3 folders but no *.reg or MotionLink.reg file found. Can I get it another way?
CTA4.4_Beta_v2
CTA4.4_BetaContent_v2
iClone_MotionLink_plugin
I'm also curious about the instructions word to "terminate". I take it to mean turn off CTA so it's not running, not uninstall. It sounds more final... like uninstall.

You can download MotionLink.reg by clicking on the link text just like you download the other zip files, please see the attached screenshot.
and regarding the meaning of terminate, we will think about whether there is a better description, thank you for your suggestions !
Hope you can have a pleasant experience !
Daniel

Hi, I'm confused, guys. I have done everything correctly (I think). but when I try to connect iClone to CA4 the "body" in CA4 is greyed out so I cannot select it. Please see the image attached. I updated everything, iClone, CA4 (not beta) and all my plugins. I installed the .reg file and copied the motion live folder into iclone. Everything should be fine. Does anyone have any idea what's going on, please? Thanks, Cheryl
