Set the frames over which the regging occurs

Each time you connect a new reg-to drawing, a corresponding XSheet column is added to the Register To node.

When the column is on a hold, the lines from the corresponding reg-to drawings are copied into the reg drawing.

When the column is on a blank, no lines are copied from the reg-to drawings.

: This is also the default state - so, unless you add a hold keyframe to the column, no lines will be copied from the reg-to drawing.

You can use this feature to ensure that you copy reg-to lines into the reg drawing only for precisely those frames in which they're required. This makes inking and painting the drawings more efficient. For example, below we are only copying lines from the curtain edge for three frames:
