  1. Hi, I was constantly getting the "error" that my Blender Applink was installed but was out of date and instructing me to click OK to fix this. (It didn't fix it when I did click on OK.) (I am running 3D-Coat 2022.24, but my files are still sitting in a 3D-Coat 2021 folder.) I poked around and noticed a command windows appear briefly with some sort of batch file running, but this disappeared to fast for me to see what it was. I ran Camtasia and captured the command window and saw that it was invoking a batch file "copy_applink.bat" that was sitting in \Documents\3DCoat\data\temp\ folder. The batch file was pointing to Blender 3.0 and was running a powershell, but I have Blender 3.1 installed so the path was incorrect. I changed the bat script to point to Blender's 3.1 path, but the script still failed even though I was running the bat file as administrator. The only way I was able to fix the problem was to physically copy the files in the \Documents\3DCoat\data\temp\ folder into the proper Blender folder (C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.1\3.1\scripts\addons\io_coat3D) I got a warning that the folders in the Blender folder were older than the ones I was copying from the 3D-Coat folder, so I guess that is where the problem was coming with the constant error when I started up 3D-Coat. I hope that Pilgway will start to clean up its installs and move over to a more consistent path name for presets. Having a preset folder for each iteration of the 3D-coat program can eat up your diskspace. And as for the Blender Applink, perhaps there ought to be a better scripting to accommodate people with newer and older installs.
  2. It is probably hidden somewhere, but I cannot find the Reset button for the scaling, rotation, placement of the stencils in 3D-Coat.2021. I fiddle with the stencils (rotating, scaling, stretching, moving) and sometimes I want just to go back to the default... Easy with 3DC 4.9. Just hit the Reset button...Not so easy with 2021...
