inserting new ones (that is, new states). The same functions are available by
right-clicking the graph, and if you right-click a graph point, you can set it to
Corner and two different Bezier types. If you select a Bezier point, you can
reshape the curve by moving its handles. You can drag a region to select
multiple points, and then edit them together. Use the toolbar under the graph
for panning and zooming the graph.
Right-click menu
Reaction Manager's right-click menu provides quick access to a number of
commonly used functions. It also contains the Replace Master function, which
is unavailable elsewhere in the dialog interface. To open the right-click menu,
right-click anywhere on the Reaction Manager dialog except in the graph
section.
Add Master Places you in Add Master mode. Click an object in a viewport,
and then use the pop-up menu to choose an animation track to use as master.
Alternatively, choose a track in Track View or from the Motion panel > Assign
Controller rollout list.
For more information, see
Add Master on page 3237.
Replace Master Lets you replace the current master. Use the standard method
to choose another master as described in Add Master on page 3237.
Use this function to specify a master when you open Reaction Manager by
assigning a Reaction controller to a slave.
NOTE If you replace a master with multiple states, Reaction Manager deletes all
existing states except the default one. In essence, replacing a master is like starting
over.
Add Slave Lets you add a slave to the current master. For details, see
Add Slave
on page 3238.
Add Selected Lets you add selected objects as slaves to the current master.
For details, see Add Selected on page 3238.
Delete Selected Deletes any items highlighted in the Reactions list. For details,
see Delete Selected on page 3239.
Create States Mode Lets you create states on the fly by manipulating objects
in the viewports. For details, see Create Mode on page 3240.
Create State Adds a new state to the States list for the current reaction. For
details, see Create State on page 3241.
