Wildsided Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Got an annoying problem folks. Last night I constrained 4 objects to 4 paths. Adjusted everything until I was happy with it, saved and went to bed. Got up this morning and loaded the project to discover that the objects weren't moving when I scrubbed through the timeline. A quick investigation revealed that while the path constraints were all present in the PWS they had somehow lost their targets. Re-selecting the targets did nothing and to make them behave again I had to make a whole new constraint. I saved again and re-loaded, same thing all the constraints had lost their targets, all the ease keyframes etc are still there just the target is gone and setting the target doesn't work. Any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 2, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can you make a sample PRJ that will do this and post it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildsided Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 There's the one Robert. It's just a simple Company Splash screen to go before my new episodes start. Ace.co.prj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 2, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 2, 2012 Something is seriously broken. If I load it in v15, one path constraint is working, but if I load it in v17 it doesn't work. That tells me the constraint is getting saved but not reloaded. In v15 I re constrained all of them to a path, and they all survived reloading in v15 but not when i take it to v17. I will submit this as a bug report to AMreports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMZ_TimeLord Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Robcat, This may be a similar issue to the one with my Copper Bolt loosing it's constraints in a V17 Beta 2 project, but not V16.0b. I'll see if I can duplicate it in a slimmed down V17 Beta 2 project as the one I am working on is quite large at this point. EDIT: Removing the Copper Bolt from the project, saving, closing, opening and then re-adding it seemed to cure the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 8, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 8, 2012 Steffen has added a note to the AMReport. Apparently the extra period in the file name is a problem. Rename the file to only have the period before the prj extension. And don't save anymore files with internal periods in the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
