Hi everyone
Is there a possibility to activate attraction or adhesion to objects "Props"? So that I can make them perfectly adjacent without doing it manually because manual work is imprecise and impractical?

Hi...

Cartoon Animator 5 doesn't feature a "Snap To Object" option but it does have "Snap To Grid" and "Snap To Angle" options which can be checked in Preferences (CTRL+P).

So if you want a number of props in a row or column you can use "Snap To Grid" to make sure they are all perfectly aligned. You can also adjust the Grid size if required to make the props closer together or further away. Alternatively, you can use "Snap To Angle"  if you need a series of props all at the same angle. Both options can be useful to save time positioning and lining everything up.

Thanks
Snap To Grid has helped me a lot, especially after reducing the size of the grid
I hope that the Snap To Object feature will be added in the next updates

About snapping... it s fine for moving entire character or props to snap with the grid but my issue is theirs no way to move your IK bones in a straight line... When animating your hip to bounce up and down holding shift and move straight it s always off and does not work like in every other software, moving manualy makes things hard to align. Is there a hotkey i m missing or a simple way to move your bones to snap horizontal or verticaly while moving ?
