I pride myself in making lots of useless stuff... that's what the script does,
more or less... :)

 Can you jnot just parent it to a null, and then plot local animation, then
remove the global!????

   I made a plugin to do just that... well, it's actually a plugin to convert
local animation to global animation and then back, to change parents without
losing the global animation on an object... you could hack it in half and just
keep the bits to transform the global animation into local one... it's a little
ugly though as it uses the plot function to transfer the animation, but with
mocap and RBDs from RealFlow it might not make any difference as the curves may
have a keyframe every frame...

   Let me know if you're interested and I can mail it to you, I might even be
able to do a quick hack of it for you... :)

     Hi,

     I've made a rigid body dynamic scene using Real Flow, and imported it
back into XSI,
     the problem is that real flow exports the animation in Global mode, so I
cant really move
     the animation in space..

     I tried puting a model node ontop, but that doesnt help..

     is there any trick of transfering the global key to a local mode?
     or a way to move global animation in space without moving the curves on Y
?
     I got over 250 objects with animation, each has position and rotation
curves...

     desperate...
