Hi Christoph or anyone else able to help.

I 'still' cannot figure out how to use the 'attach' feature.  Would it be possible for
someone
to post a simple scene demonstrating this feature. Tthe docs seem clear, but it's just
not
working, and I find the scene file 'rotate.pov' (which incidentally no longer runs on
my
system - it brings up 'mechsim.inc') just confuses me.

Basically, all I'm trying to do is drag the topmost mass (of a line of 4 masses and
connections) from left to right and back again.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

It's okay... I know what I was doing wrong. I had to save in subformat 3. It would
have saved
me lots of time if this had been mentioned in  the 'attach' section of the docs, but
it's
effectively a case of RTFM ;-)

It could be a good idea to add a note to the 'attach' documentation but
the sample scene also clearly shows how to do it.
