Always update Animate with caution
If you rely on EDAP Tools for your work, always install new versions of Animate separately and not on top of your existing installation.
You can uninstall later, when you are certain that the new version works well. This will ensure a smooth upgrade.
There are two types of Animate updates – minor and major.
Minor updates
Minor updates have the same version number before the dot, i.e. 20.0.2, 20.5 and so on.
These versions share the same Configuration folder.
After minor updates, installed EDAP Tools (which reside in the Configuration folder) will still be present.
Major updates
Major updates have different version numbers. For example 20.5, 21.0.6, 22.0 and so on.
These major versions have separate Configuration folders.
After major updates, EDAP Tools will need to be installed in the new version of Animate as it has a different Configuration folder.
These updates are especially confusing for new EDAPT adopters, because before the update the CC App lets them choose "Import previous settings and preferences". This gives the false impression that extensions will also be transferred, but they are not and need to be installed.
Restoring EDAPT Shortcuts
To restore EDAPT Shortcuts in case if some have gone missing or are not working properly, open EDAPT Control Panel and go to the Miscellaneous section. Then click the "Restore EDAPT Shortcuts" checkbox, press Apply and reload the shortcuts from the Shortcuts dialog. Details…
TransPoser workflow
Hi, I'm using the latest version of Animate at work while using an older version of Flash on my home computer. At home, while practicing the tutorials, I have found the Tilda key to be very helpful for snapping child symbols to parent symbols . However this command doesn't seem to work in Animate and instead of snapping it changes the currently selected symbol to another symbol. Any idea what's going on here and how I can get the Tilda key to work?
