Adding Layers To Swap Set

It seemed pretty easy to add layers or groups to a newly created swap set. Just drag them over. Suddenly, it's not working. I drag but nothing happens. Are there limitations to what you can drag to include in a swap set? Do the layers need to be independent? Or am I just experiencing a glitch?

Without screenshots it can be hard to be sure, but normally you add *triggers* to swapsets. (Triggers can be applied to layers.) In some cases CH will add triggers for you automatically, which is my guess the source of confusion. Try adding a trigger to the layer then drag into the swapset.

You sure about that? I believe I have added layers and groups to swap sets without giving them triggers first. Additionally, one of the methods of creating a trigger is to drag the layer to the trigger panel which as I mentioned doesn't work for me. I have created a simple swap set that I want to include 2 body layers so I can switch between them. This has worked for me many times before and suddenly stopped. I've exited CA and relaunched, to no avail.

Thanks for the screenshot. It seems to have created a trigger instead of a swapset from your screenshot.... Let me try the same thing in my CH...

Before:

I drag "Arm 2" into the trigger panel....

Interesting. See down the bottom - it has "create trigger" and "create swap set"? The default seems to be to create a trigger, but if I drop it over the "create swap set" dotted area then it creates a swapset for each layer. Maybe this was a recent UI change?
