Hi Randy --
The idea of siblings is to make parametrically similar objects. So it's an interesting question just which parameter values should be transmitted or remain distinct. If the "graphic" is repainted on a sibling, we certainly don't want the change to be automatically propagated to the rest (any more than we want the position or heading be automatically transmitted). OTOH, we might want to selectively transmit some of the values from one object to all. E.g. we might want to say "let all my siblings have my graphic".
Right now we are pretty much restricting this to control state rather than property values ....
Cheers,
Alan

I notice that when I create an object and then create siblings of that object, that subsequent new variables and new scripts for the original object get propogated to the siblings. However, repainting or resizing the original object does not get propogated to the siblings. Any chance this "inconsistency" will get corrected in Tweak?
