Animate Free Transform Issues - Mac
Ok, upgraded to Animate CC on Mac. Serious disappointment so far. It crashes just like CS 6 did. But here's a basic issue which makes it unusable for me currently:
I create an object and group it. Then group this together with some other objects (e.g. a mix of grouped objects and regular drawn shapes.) This simulates a normal collection of artwork grouped together.
Now use the free transform tool to resize the nested group (with Shift held down of course.) Objects start to move out of their bounding boxes and slide around/ away from each other.
What is going on here?
So in the examples below, the three blue rectangles are each groups and the orange one is just a regular shape. When grouped together and resized with the free transform tool, the blue groups shrink and move in relation to the orange one where they should stay in proportion. Sometimes some grouped shapes even slide out of the bounding box (e.g. the squares image below which were evenly distributed before resizing.)
With the cat below also, which is a collection of groups and regular shapes - some nested some not so that I can keep the elements separate, as I resize, the grouped objects begin to slide left out of the bounding box making poor kitty look like roadkill.
Also undo doesn't always put them back to the correct positions indicating that Animate is somehow completely screwing up the positioning data of different objects as they are resized.
Please help as CS6 handles this ok but Animate CC seems to have some major bugs/flaws. Unless I'm missing some obvious setting which I truly hope I am. I need this to work.
