An error description

I have just come across the following error (3ds Max 7):
"Unknown property: "x_rotation" in Controller:Linear_Rotation".

What might it be due to?

Spring control

You can not transfer the animation from an object with a spring controller added to the position[XYZ] or a Peter Watje spring add on
for the PositionX,Y,Z seperately.

This would be a nice add on!

Great script!

Just wait!

Oh it wont be long my friend. You'll be very pleased with the final product. Which will be releasing not to far from now. You'll know when its released!

Thanks for your interest, I appreciate it.
Everyone's comments, ideas and support has really helped push both Andru and I to push the envelope on the next version. It has many new features. The list is not worth mentioning just yet. A video would be best.

Be back soon.
