Yup, that is how I was telling them apart, I didn't think it'd be so hard to
implement!. I have them linked to a custom pset on the arm eff, with a
DisplayInfo pset also on the arm eff, so I can blend between them on screen
without diving into the explorer, works really nicely :)

Cheers for your help Bradley

 Not yet. Chalk it up to another request in waiting. While it seems a simple
request on the surface, it's actually a difficult one to implement.

 For your particular situation, I almost always set my FK constraint first,
then my IK constraint second. That way I know that the constraint with the [1]
at the end of the name is linked to IK, and that's the one I want to control
with the blend slider. I always add a custom parameter slider to control the
blend. It takes literally 5 seconds to set one up using drag and drop. :-)


   Hi all,

   Anyone know if it is possible to rename constraints? I have an IK and FK
pose constraint, and it would help to distinguish them apart...

   Cheers guys and gals
