Hi Lucas,

I've done setups like that many times. I have also had serious problems
with Reset Actor with anything more complex then a mocap rig. My
solution... don't use Reset Actor =). Store--> "Transformations--Current
Values" and just apply the action when you want to reset. You can even
make a button or use the synopticto do this if you adhere to a naming
convention.

Hellothere,
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 ?
