For your "tired fingers" (that particular app) have you thought of using sep on everything BUT the blue sky with MASK/CREATE turned on, then invert the mask and USE it to apply OPAQue ink in the key color. As far as the diff between POCO tools and AniPro tools, basically, POCO has a bunch of "extra stuff" like for every pointer POCO tracks the valid range for that ptr and quits if it tries to reference outside the valid range. This seems to be an attempt by Adesk to protect us POCO users from the infamous "loose ptr" problem. They have taken great efforts to try to keep POCO from nuking AniPro. However, there is some effort involved in taking the code used in AniPro and adding this "extra stuff" like pointer handling. the bottom line for this is that some code gets added to AniPro, but it never gets added to POCO because the "extra checking" hasn't been written. Until we POCO users can be trusted to avoid loose ptrs, and other errors, there will always be a discrepancy between AniPro tools and POCO tools (on the other hand, it's hard to complain TOO much – I didn't buy source code to AniPro, after all!).
