v19.5a can no longer constrain cp motions during modelling rotations

[R Reynolds]

For a very long time, one of the nice tools in A:M is being able to constrain cp motion along an axis during a rotate; see embedded project.

This is a top view of two tubes whose axes are parallel to the Z axis. Open this project in v19p (or any version going back to the last century) and select the central circular 4pt. spline of the green tube.

 

Select the Rotation tool and rotate the tool 45 deg. counterclockwise while holding down the 3 key.
The spline rotates but the movement of the cp's are constrained to only move along the Z axis.

Open this project in v19.5a and select the central circular 4 pt. spline of the red tube.

Select the Rotation tool and rotate the tool 45 deg. counterclockwise while holding down the 3 key.
The entire spline moves with no axis constraint, the way it would if you weren't holding down the 3 key.

 

This is also true for the X & Y axis.

I can confirm the problem, which seems to have originated a few betas ago. I'll make a report. Thanks!

Note to me: the last version this works correctly in was the one I downloaded on 10/31/2022

Great feature... I never knew this ;).
Hopefully it will be fixed soon. That would have been very helpful a couple of times before.

Best regards

Look for this to be fixed in v19.5b
