error when copying fumefx box and emiters

[Eric-S]

Hi,

when copy/pasting any fumefx emiters... the copies loses the object that was attached.
When we are duplicating the fumefx box with his emiter. The fumefx box cannot connect with the duplicated emiters and gives us an error :

thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Thank you for the bug report.
We will try to include the bug fix with FumeFX 3.5.3 update.

Hello Eric,

As for the missing the object that is attached, that is actually as designed, as we though that when user duplicates object source (for example), he will want its params to be used with different geometry.
