Syflex quezzie 2005-04-06 - By Brad Friedman

I'm assuming syflex 2.x. if you've got 3.0 I can't help unfortunately.
with extended component selection off:
select the cloth object. hit 't'.
select your verts to pin.
hold down shift.
tap space.
while shift is held down, select the object to pin to.
release shift.
Syflex -->Constr-->Create Pin
thats it. no message.
if that doesn't work, then something weird is going on.
