Jon Ambrose replied to Michael Cawood - Director's discussion sh0810_DTH_Wanddecide - Animation"Cool. Sounds good. Yeah, I haven't been overwriting any of my previous files. Version 6 was this last one that I posted. I noticed you renamed one to version 7. But I can go from there and my next update just be version 8."
