Hello everyone,

There is a cool feature in Animbot called 'Micro Manipulator' which does; 'Enable a very subtle and delicate manipulation mode.'

I know that the channelbox sensitivity can be controled with the 'speed' flag,

But I can't find 'speed' flag in manipulator options...

So my question is, is there a manipulator speed control option in Maya or do I need to create a custom function to replicate this feature?

I'm not aware of that feature in Maya.  Good idea though...I think we should add it!

Having a look at (some very obfuscated) source, it looks like it’s a callback to attributeChanged through the API, that listens for a change being made, divides it by some number like 10, and redoes the attribute change. If so, that’s quite hacky! But interesting, and clearly useful as an end-result.

I know that the channelbox sensitivity can be controled with the ‘speed’ flag,

I had forgotten about this one, for completeness here’s what he’s referring to.
