Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I just installed TVP 9.5.11 and wanted to try that new feature (since I asked for it), but I can't find it! It's not mentioned in the manual, and I also found no description or how-to in the forum. I created some drawings, opened the light table - and found no tool to grab and reposition the images. Since others seemed to have used it already, I feel quite stupid.

just open the lightable panel and you'll see.

This is how my LT panel looks like. And it's definitely the new TVP version ...

Can you see the little X button ?

Now click on a square, just near to the X =)

OK, the empty square is a button. It gives me the familiar pan handles, and I'm able to shift and rotate and scale drawing A and C. Now how do I draw in frame B while A and C are off the pegs? Even when I close the LT panel, the pan handles remain, and I'm not able to draw. Clicking the X resets everything.

I think the problem is that the feature is there , but no one knows how to access it or how it works except the beta testers who have seen it under development and discussed it in the beta forum.

A tutorial would be helpful .

just as usually for drawing, select the dawing tool you want, and draw. (you have to keep the LT enable to see Off-Pegs).

Markus, after you reposition the drawing you have clicked under, hit enter and it'll stay in that position until you hit the X. IMPORTANT: don't forget to hit X before you go on to other frames to draw because all will still be out of position.

Thx Paul! It was the "hit Enter" bit that was missing.

Works like a charm now ... but still I wonder how anybody found out how to use this without any explanation. Did I miss some document?

I had to ask when beta-testing and now you and a few others know from me and even more will know from you and a few others.. It's the Umwelt of TVP and it works like a charm.

Well, that's the secret hand shake ... and when do we get the lapel pins of our little order?

I've begun to complete the appendix with that feature, but I had to stop it for several reasons.

I will continue the appendix soon, please wait a little

What we really need is a video tutorial showing the Off The Pegs inbetween function .


I would offer to do it , but I have been snowed under with my day job responsibilities at the university since the semester started .
(Also I have no access to my tablet at the moment. I hope to have it back soon.)


I still intend to get around to it , but don't want to make a promise I can not fulfill.

This screen shot from the Newsletter looked like someone started a tutorial, yes ? ---
