Hi.  I was in the middle of doing a new scene for my wife's mother's day present, but then something odd happened.  All of a sudden, I cannot get objects to move when I use the manipulator arms.   All it seems to affect is the hotpoint.  I end up having to guess where I need it and use the OBJ>HP function to actually move the object after I have the hotpoint roughly where I need it.  As you could guess, this has made it take 3 times longer than normal to do the scene.  The timing could not be worse.  I don't think I accidentally clicked anything but I'm not so sure.  This project has been rushed because I had to wait for the Mrs. to be out of the house.  Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this.  I tried reopening C6 Pro and reloading it with no luck.  Any help appreciated.

 It sounds like your Caps Lock is on.

Capslock turned on is what make the Hotpoint move... just turn it off.

I know! The capslock feature is something that I learned in the same way...

Maybe now that Daz has Carrara, they can remove or change "features" like that.  Way too easy to accidentally do it.
