MAY 22 - mecanim manual tick while in editor mode

Hello!

I am trying to write a tool that does the following. I have a mecanim driven generic rig character. At runtime I run my character through 2,3 animations sampled at a specific rate by manually incrementing animator.ForceStateNormalizedTime(). Because this happens "ingame" and not "ineditor" his animator component happily updates.

How can I manually update my animator component while in editor. It seems that animator.ForceStateNormalizedTime() has no effect by itself. Is there an equivalent to [ExecuteInEditMode] for the animator component?

Thanks
David
