Tango Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi, this is a simple issue that has been nagging me for ever. Whenever a script is getting complex, it becomes important to keep everything organized. I have problems renaming objets and layers. Changing the names by selecting the layer and typing a new name in the top field works fine. The only problem is that it does not keep the changes. Usually, the layers go back to their original names after saving and re-opening. I am working on a project that will make me loose track of the numerous controllers involved if I can't rely on "safe-renaming". Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to rename layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ola Tango! No, this is not possible! The only way which you can loose a name in the layer is if its a Ubershape and inside the Ubershape, you have "auto name" turn on. Otherwise, it's not possible. Btw: Did you see in EIAS 9, you can copy the group name and paste in another layer? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 AH!!! I knew it had to be a simple answer. You are absolutely right, the problem layers are all (and probably were in the past) Ubershapes. I did not know about the auto naming option. I will for sure remember from now on. I do have the new version but I am still using v8 because I haven't found the time to install a v9 RenderFarm. I know, it doesn't take that long... I am looking forward to use v9 in production because of all the changes you made to it. Thanks for the quick reply. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
