negative scaling problem

negative scaling problem

Hello there,

were doing a setup for a character right now and finally found a
solution for the left arm.  Envelope works fine so far.. But as soon as
we mirror the joints via "Duplicate Symmetry" with "Freeze Negative
Scaling" off, "Reset Actor" disrupts the mesh on the mirrored joints.
The idea was that we could select both Arms and rotate them in the same
direction, therefore "Freeze Negative Scaling" was turned off.

Any Idea for a work-around or other solutions ?

Lucas
