Base layer offset when viewing layers (SL3)
Sep 26, 2018
Apologies if this has been asked before! I use layers a lot in our software simulations (recreating drop-down menus, highlighting parts of the screen etc) and I've noticed that when I view the layer, the dimmed base layer isn't in the right place. It moves.
To align something on a layer with something that is on the base layer, I have to paste it into the base layer, move it into position, then cut and paste it into its final layer - because the position of the 'background' isn't true when viewed on the layer, so you can't place anything accurately.
The attachments show a red box positioned in place on the base layer, then pasted (in EXACTLY the same spot) on the layer called loop. It hasn't moved - the dimmed background has. It's just stupid and annoying :) Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it support ticket time?
(and how's about not being able to use the scroll wheel in the slide preview drop down list?) ;-P

Wow, Erin! That's the first time I've run into this -- weird, indeed! Would you be willing to share your file with me so I can take a look under the hood?
You can attach it to a new reply here, or send it to us privately.
Also, can you tell me what you mean by the slide preview drop down list?
I'll modify one of my files and send it, even privately I should probably trim it down a bit!
I've attached the slide preview DD list (that's the tooltip, anyway - it's the slide picker in preview!) :-)
Hey Erin,
Thanks for reaching out to our support team. Looks like Renz is already working with you :)
