Well I gotta say the showcase or usage examples with DB Pro are pretty useless. I can't get "Lock object" to work. When I try it my object i want to lock just dissapears. How do I get it to fix to somewhere on the screen?

thanks

Lock object on Object#
Make sure it's visible to begin with. If it never shows up your graphics card may have trobule rendering 2d graphics...thats the problem with my old computer

yep i was doing that and it's a 3d object not 2d. I believe "lock object" is for 3D objects?

The objects appear fine on screen but as soon as the "Lock object on" command runs the object vanishes!

ahhh think i knpow the prob. The object is flat on the x-z plane so from what i gather the locked objects are displayed on screen as though the camera is at 0,0,0 looking out horizontally. Therefore my object would be displayed as a thin nay invisible strip!

Don't spose anyone would be willing to knock up a basic example of 3d object with "lock object on" ?

Um, yeah. I position the object relative to 0,0,0 before locking it on, and all the locking takes place before anything is drawn or the camera is moved. I don't know about the relevance of that though. Note the object is still sensitive to light.
