Follow the Leader Tool

Post by ChrisS »

I'm having trouble learning how to use the follow the leader tool...I can never get the correct dot to move or it only gives me the option of starting the follow the leader in the middle of the line...Is a way to select which performer I want to move?

Hi ChrisS,

Like many things in the program, the Follow the Leader Tool is very reliant on the selection order of the Performers. Check out our tutorial on Moving Performers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVrtCzkmj8A&feature=plcp) for a quick primer.

The Follow the Leader Tool always uses the end points in a selection as the beginning and end. When you have it selected you can switch which performer is the leader by pressing the Reverse Start Position button in the FTL tool.

Also, check out the Performer Selection Mode help (http://www.box5software.com/help/Perfor ... nMode.html) for a detailed look at the various ways you can select Performers.

Lastly, have a look at the the Selection Ordering Tool documentation (http://www.box5software.com/help/Select ... gTool.html). It has a variety of ways that you can change the order of a group of performers that are already selected.


I hope that answered your question!
