    User Guide says that...

    When switching to other tools, the selection for the Weights tool is saved. This enables switching to a transform tool, trying out the weights by manipulating the bones, then switching back to the Weights tool to further adjust the weights, without needing to change the selection.

    I dont get it, when I switch to any transform tool switching back does not restore any selection, what selection we talk about? the pies? or the bones in the weight view or it is so intuitive that I don't even notice it 😃

    The selection that is saved when switching between the Weights tool and other transform tools refers to the vertices and bones you have selected in the Weights view. This means that if you select some vertices and bones while using the Weights tool, then switch to a transform tool to manipulate the bones, and then switch back to the Weights tool, the same vertices and bones will still be selected. This allows you to continue adjusting the weights without having to reselect the vertices and bones.

    It does not refer to the pie charts or any visual indicators but rather the actual selection of vertices and bones that you are working with.

      This is not what happens actually. Selection of the vertices and the bones is not saved would appreciate if any of devs confirms it

      1. Open el Spineboy, select Weights tool, click the head mesh, click Translate tool. Note the selection is gone.
      2. Click Weights tool (or right click to toggle the last tool). Note the head mesh is selected.
      3. Click Rotate tool, select a bone, right click. Note the head mesh is selected, not the bone.
      4. Right click. Note the bone is selected.

      The viewport selection for the Weights tool is separate from the bone tools. This allows you to switch between manipulating the mesh and manipulating bones, without needing to reselect the mesh and bones each time.

      Omg I had never tried that flow in my life. Before picking weights tool I always select the mesh, hence the pies reset and I don't see the benefit of the feature. so nice!

      Thanks!

      While it saves pie selection when I come back to weights view I noticed it loses bone selection in the weights view

      Hmm, OK we'll create an issue to fix that!
