Very impressive indeed.

Hahahaha! That's amazing :) When I got an email from SideFX changing the status of the RFE to "Fixed", I just assumed that they had agreed that it was a valid request that they'd look into, not that they'd actually gone and bloody done it. Well done SideFX! In case he's still reading this thread, thanks to Mark Tucker at SideFX who dealt with this so promptly.

A quick update to this following discussions with SideFX: 1) I don't recall if this was mentioned in the thread earlier, but they mentioned that you can enable/disable the auto-connect on wires using CTRL+8 or in the Network View menu under Tools-> Allow Dropping Nodes on Wires. This doesn't work during a drag operation though, so I've gone back and explained the desired workflow of having a modifier key to toggle the behaviour during the dragging of nodes. I just thought I'd post this in here now case it's useful to anyone in the mean time. 2) They pointed out that I was incorrect when I said earlier in this thread there wasn't an equivalent view of Softimage's Explorer view where you can see clean hierarchies of objects. You can do it in the Tree View. You just need to enable the Object Filter (the first button in the Tree View's tool bar). You can also right click on the Tree View toolbar, and there are various other options in there which can be helpful for sorting and grouping the objects in a tree structure. Definitely worth playing with anyway. Sorry for the misinformation before! Cheers, A On 26/03/2017 13:55, Jonathan Moore wrote: Thanks Andy.

I also like Pauls idea of a modifier key to disable the auto connection on demand. Definitely seems a worthwhile enhancement request.
