February Updates 2023
Improvements
Now, create variables directly from the connections dropdown while your work progresses.
Connect multiple layers to a variable; use the inspector connections panel on shared properties across your selection.
Hidden audio layers will no longer play during playback.
Added the ability to connect two properties: the Number to String utility block output and a Text layer.
Fixed a bug that caused editor crashes when working with moved project files. Custom fonts now move with projects that are moved between teams.
Now, when creating a new scene with layers that are connected to variables, copies of the variable will be moved to the scene, and the instance of the scene will be connected to the project’s variables.
The duplicator random seed property now increments in multiples of 1 and 10.
Added colored icons to the variable types on the Variables manager.
Reordered the list of variable types that appear when you create a new variable so the most common variable types appear at the top.
Updated some fresh new icons on the timeline.
Fixes
