Much thanks 3dZver! I had
Much thanks 3dZver! I had tried (very unsucessfully) to update the .net myself a few times, but my meager maxscript skills just broke it more than it already was... :)
This really should be an 'official' update, I'd like to see this posted here on scriptspot as a v1.6 or something. I don't see why the autor would take exception to that.
Thanks again for the Christmas present!
Finally!! Thank you 3dZver,

Thanks for greetings,
Thanks for greetings, Pewi.
I too congratulate all happy New Year!
Yes. I too have found out this bug, but I have recompile only the interface and have a little corrected algorithm of interaction with it. The source code by means of which operations of transformation with all cloned objects calculate has remained former.
Therefore this bug most likely existed and earlier. But I have corrected this now. A new update of a script it is possible download in the same place (see my message above).

Praises goes to 3DZver!
Thank you so much. You are a true well-doer.
Happy holidays everybody.
Greetings from Sweden,
I discovered a bug though:
- Using Scatterer and selecting "Align to Stroke" X or Y.
- I get an "Scatterer Ink Error" dialog-box with an OK-button.
- Using "Off" works fine.
- The Randomizer brush works fine using any "Align to Stroke" option.
Anyone else has this?
