Rafe,
Hmmm, perhaps I'm missundertanding you here. Are you sure that you can't
lock params inside the Kinematics PPG? Seems to work fine for me?
As for the Animation Editor, you can indeed lock animated params easily my
single or mutiple selections. There doesn't appear to be an optino to lock
marked parameters so I agree this is an omission, but I personally find
marking sets more convenient generally. Do you not find that organising
your locked params by creating a marking set useful?

Played around with it a little.
Locks don't seem to follow the methodology of XSI, which is a real shame
since this introduces a small learning curve. In the explorer (not in the
kinematics property page - another serious drawback) you can lock items
based on your right click choice. If you want to lock all kinematics, right
click on that, if you want to lock only ori, you have to navigate to that
node and right click on that. Worse, if you want to lock marked params you
have to navigate all the way down to anyone of them to right click on it. If
you right click on any marked param and lick it all will lock. ... messy
Anyone at soft care to comment? If lock functionality were put in the
animation menu as marking sets were, it would make a lot more sense. I
wouldn't remove the functionality that is there now. Though I don't see a
way to work on multiple objects, yet another shame.
Workflow problem summery:
* Locks don't seem to utilizing an obvious or useful workflow in
regards to marked parameters
* No way to work on multiple objects outside of the marked parameter
workflow
* No way to lock more then one channel at a time in the kinematics
property page
Please correct me if I am wrong, These items would speed up working with
locks significantly. Perhaps I am just missing some key trick. Anyone at
Soft care to comment?

Works fine here.
I just wish it would also be possible to password protect my locks, would
make the animators a lot less dangerous :)
Still beats constant expressions tho.

I hope I just missed this somewhere... is there a way to set locks on
all marked parameters?
