Something odd in 1.6.....has anyone else experienced this? When I use "focus to" running windows on an 8 core macpro all the values set to zero and the render is totally black.

I've tried the same scene under OSX and all is fine. Looks like a windows bug but I can't find any postings that have had the same issues. Any ideas?

Are you using Focus to in Bounding Box, or Wireframe view modes? The camera should be in another mode than those to for Autofocus and focus to to work properly I think. Also with Focus to, you have to click somewhere in the viewport after choosing the command, where you want to camera to focus to.

Hi, focusing in shaded mode....same as I did in 1.1 and 1.5. As mentioned, replicating exactly the same thing in OSX works fine.

I use this feature a lot to give me interactive FOV and it's always been great. Not doing anything that I didn't in previous releases.

It's the clicking in the viewport after selecting the command that causes the problem......seems to think about it for a while and then sets all values to zero. In OSX I click in the viewport and all works as should.....strange!
