VERY strange problem

#1

This has never happened to me before while using Blender. While editing an Armature, whenever I try and move one of the bones with the transform manipulator, instead of moving, Blender draws these strange red lines all over. I’m attaching a screenshot. It only happens while editing this one Armature…so far… ANy ideas why? See attached screenshot.

Maybe there is some kind of option active to show paths for bones. I do not remember but there was something for showing onion skins and other stuff. This might be one of those if it is 2.49.

I’m looking for that type of option in the myriad of buttons but haven’t found anything yet. The other problem is that while it is in this “drawing red line” mode, I cannot edit any of the bones. I can’t select or delete them although I can use the hotkeys to translate and rotate them.

This is hands down the strangest thing I have ever seen in Blender. Please, please if anyone out there knows anything tell me.

its etch-a-ton, for skeleton generation and sketching. press N and turn it off, its usually at the bottom

YES! That was it. For everyone out there, I just had to uncheck Skeleton Sketching on the right hand side panel.

#6

That’s funny. I had the same problem just earlier. :hmm:
