I've had Carrara for a while, but still have problems getting it to work. One of my biggest problems is the hot key for "Move" in the vertex modeller. The hot key combination listed next to the "Move" command in the selection menu is supposed to be Ctrl-Shift-T, but I've never been able to get this one to work. Strangely, the hot keys for resize and rotate work just fine. Anyone know what the problem is? I couldn't get this to work in either Carrara 1.0 or 2.0. Another question, how can I import a path I draw in Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator into the vertex modeller. I've been doing some reading and discovered apparently this can be done in other programs, like 3D Studio Max, but can't figure out how to do it in Carrara. The import command in the vertex modeller doesn't allow for .ai format. And please, no matter what your answers are to these questions, DON"T suggest to me that I buy Carrara 3.0, because I'm not upgrading this software package until I get a better handle on how to make it work. I'm pretty fed up with it right now. Helen
