Shape link deform with bone orientation problem

Shape link deform with bone orientation problem

Hi list,

I need to have a lot of shape/link deform on bone orientation on the
legs of a character.
I'm using 4.2.
Here are the problems I have :
- when setting up the link on the cluster, I sometimes get a loop cycle
(I'm using the default rig).
The cycle seems to happen randomly.
- after doing a few shapes (when I manage not to have a cycle), the
shape operator sometimes seems to have no effect anymore.
- In the doc for  "l_interpOri" (expression created by the link with ori
command) I read :
"When you change the orienation of the cube, the linked parameter
changes as well. Use Set Relative Values to set keys on the function
curve."
Where are these fcurves stored ? I can't find them...

Cheers,
F.
