Parenting causes items to move

 Whenever I try to parent or unparent one figure/object to another. The first figure/parent moves from the spot I placed it at. Is there any way to parent/unparent a figure/object from another figure/object without it moving?

    When you right-click on a figure/object and select "change parent" from the menu, a pop-up window opens allowing you to select where to parent the select item, or to select none. At the bottom of the window above the buttons is a check box to "parent in place." When this option is selected the item will be parented without moving. If it is not selected, changing/selecting a parent can move the item.

    This option works regardless of whether or not you use the window to change or select a parent.

    While it may be easier to drag a weapon and drop it onto the character's hand, especially if you have a lot of items in your scene, it's a good idea to do the right-click thing and make sure the option is checked first.

    (Be kind, I'm doing this all from memory as DS is tied up at the moment...) laugh
