Hello,
My name's Dana, I seem to be having some trouble with the Block Form Tool.
When I try to movie the block that I have created back or forth, or rotate it, the block will delete spots on the grid and create a strange shape. For example, if I created a block with 16 dots, if I move the form using the Form Selection Tool, The entire shape becomes abstract and suddenly only contain 10 dots.
Any help or advice that can be provided would be appreciated, thanks.

Block Form Problems
Re: Block Form Problems
Hi Dana,
I have been procrastinating on answering this post because I have been searching for a quick way to help you out. Unfortunately it seems that the block tool needs some tweaking and there is no easy fix. The only thing I can suggest is to create the block and add the performers to it all square to the front. Then when you have the performers in the shape that you want you use the performer selection to move/rotate/resize the performers to the position you want.
This is a very annoying issue and you can bet that we are going to get it fixed.
