NoteIn the Key Info dialog
for the Bezier Scale controller
, a Lock button is displayed beside the X Scale spinner. If you click Lock X, only the X value affects all three axes of scale.
The Y and Z values are ignored and their function curves are not displayed. When X is locked, the Y and Z values aren't affected
by changes in the X value. If you click Lock X when all three axes are at identical values, alter the X value, and then unlock
X. The Y and Z values remain where they were while X retains its new value.

- The left arrow of the In tangent copies to the Out tangent of the previous key.
- The right arrow of the In tangent copies to the Out tangent of the current key.
- The left arrow of the Out tangent copies to the In tangent of the current key.
- The right arrow of the Out tangent copies to the In tangent of the next key.
