I have the recent version - I just switched to tvp11 2 weeks ago

That's curious because the break instance shortcut (the one in the handy custom panel for exemple) works great on my side even if autonbreak/autocrate are not activated

And the one from my panel is exactly the same as the one from the handy custom panel.

Hi guys. I have included a screenshot to show what I mean.
in the screenshot - the layer "box" is on HOLD. break instance does not do anything, whether auto-break/auto-create are on or off. Now - Elodies and Otano's buttons do work great - I love this flexibility of creating actions in TVP!!, but they both create an empty instance, because they include the function "clear". Is there another action, that instead of "clear", would say something like "touch"? So that it reads as an empty pen action, which will work perfectly with auto-functions enabled.
thanks a lot for your patience!

Haha ok, I got it. I can't find a way to do it without scripting.

Maybe I misunderstand but I think all you have to do is to activate "auto break" and "auto create frame" on that layer, then go to the frame where you want the break and draw something or erase somewhere (no extra buttons needed).
It will create a new instance without erasing the hold drawing.
Is that what you want to achieve ?
