Can't select image when creating new bone?

clinthulk2

I just came back to Spine after a while and as far as I remember there was a way to add an image (socket) to a bone by clicking shift on it and then creating the bone, but now when I try that it doesn't work? Has the shortcut been changed, what should I do?

Hello!
Here are the shortcuts for creating bones from the user guide page:
Tools - Spine User Guide: Create Tool

Usually attachments for a new bone are already in the editor area as a reference for where to create the bone. After selecting the bone that will be the parent and before creating the new bone, hold ctrl (cmd on Mac) and click to select one or more attachments. When the new bone is created, the slots for these attachments are moved to the new bone and the new bone is named using the slot of the first attachment selected. This greatly reduces the time needed to setup a skeleton.

After a bone is created, normally the new bone is selected. To create a sibling of the new bone, the parent bone must be selected again. If shift is held when creating a bone, the new bone is not selected, which makes it easier to add multiple sibling bones.

I am new to Spine and working on a Mac and I cannot get a new bone to auto-attach to an image using the cmd key.

I press Create and then select the parent bone (root for example) and cmd-click either the slot or the attachment and when creating the bone it's created as a child of the parent bone but the slot/attachment is not attached and it's named "bone".

I am using 3.8.95 Essential.

OK so I watched the video at the end of the user guide page and it shows you need to select the attachment within the editor not within the tree view.

I am not sure why it doesn't consider selection within the editor or tree (of either slot or attachment) to be valid in this context? Seems like something that could be improved 🙂

Anyway Spine is a lovely bit of software and I am enjoying using it.

Cheers,

Hmm, interesting idea, we'll see about supporting that!
