Why does a joint move upwards when i move it in top view with the shape skeleton tools activated? I am in Top View, which means it shouldn't move in Z direction at all. Same for front view. The joint moves backwards. Every adjustment in one axis moves it out of the correct position in another axis. How can you even shape a skeleton at all that way? Am i missing something here?

make sure you are working in world or screen coordinates.

Ah stupid me. That does the trick. Thanks :)

As a suggestion, wouldn't it be better when switching to top view would also change to screen coordinates like it did in TS 6.6 ?
