[Bf-funboard] Local View Coordinates = Local Coordinates of active object

[Adam Preisler]

Hello again Blenderheads!

Hadrien is right. This feature is already in the making.

For those interested, here is a link to a 3 months old TASK:

If you like it and have a bit of time, you might want to subscribe or award

Thanks for reading,

Adam
