I am a first time animation teacher but I have run into a problem. A number of my students are having issues animating with the bone tool and we need to get multiple layers to move together. How would I go about this. I would love to upload a file, but do not know how.

Thank You,

Karn Gustafson

Have you looked into the new Layer Parenting feature? Layer parenting |

Hmmm that doesn't sound right. I don't know officially why or if it's true but I can't imagine an education license would prevent you from upgrading to the current versions of Adobe software. Is this a limitation set by your IT department?

Is parent layering only available in 2019?

Yes. It's one of the new features of the latest version.

The Bone tool places each object (symbol) into the same armature layer. Unfortunately the tool doesn't allow you to maintain layers. But as Joseph mentioned, the new Layer Parenting feature may be a better, more intuitive animation tool for your students.

I do not have the layer parenting option. I have updated to the most recent version and still cannot find the option to turn layer parenting on. Attached is the screen shot. Can you tell me what I am missing?
