Curve Tool: Editing Cells

The Spreadsheet view allows for editing individual cells as well as editing cell ranges. In order to edit a cell or range of cells, the cell or cells must first be selected; see Selecting Cells for details. The cell that is editable is highlighted by a black box. When editing a cell range or multiple ranges, the value in the editable cell will be used for all the selected cells.

To edit a cell:

Select the cell(s) to be edited.
Press ENTER to start editing.
You can also double-click the cell or press the F2 key to start editing.
Edit the cell's value.
Press ENTER when done.

To quickly enter a value in a cell:

Select the cell(s) to be edited.
Type a new value for the cell.
Press ENTER when done.

To cancel an edit already in progress:

Press the ESC key.

Changing the selected cell or pressing the ENTER key accepts the edit and updates the point in the Graph view. Pressing ESC cancels any edit in progress. The point's properties are not changed when the edit is canceled.

When editing a range, all cells in the range are set to the single value accepted into the editable cell. For example, to set all the velocities to 100, select all the velocity cells, type '100', and then press ENTER. All the cells in the range will be updated.

Changing a point's time, or master position, property may cause the point to be moved in the order. For example, if there are three points, at time 100, 200, and 300, changing the point whose time value is 200, to a value of 400 will change the order of the points to be 100, 300, 400. The Graph view will immediately reflect the new order. This method can be used to rearrange points along the curve.

Editing a velocity cell causes the cell to have a fixed velocity, see Changing a Point's Velocity for more information.

Note: Since the time, or master position, property cannot be set to a value within 10 units of another point, editing a range will fail if more than one time cell is included in the range. Additionally, if the Interval Type property is included in a selection range along with any other property types the edit will fail since the Interval Type property does not accept numeric values and the other property types do not accept letters.
