Re: Dart Throw Compound equivalent?

2014-05-02 Thread Alok Gandhi

Hi Sam. In the spirit of fairness, I just wanted to add some info to your observations regarding Modo. You can snap your rotations by holding down the CTRL key. This should help you achieve precise values. Snaps are turned on and off using F11. No need to fool around with menus. You can change t
