Pose tool - Restrict axis for rotate on all

nategovan

Hi, 

I find myself using the pose tool quite a lot, and its great for getting really natural bends, especially in the with a torso or arms.

The one thing I wish that I could do would be restrict / lock an axis whilst using it. For example, if I'm creating a forward bow I have to orient may character perfectly towards the viewport, then clicking and holding the rotate on all axis buttons, I have to get it perfectly straight, which I NEVER do properly. The corresponding x, y, z axis sliders on the pose tool only affect a single bone even if there are multiple bones selected. Indeed, it also shows the limits and current values, but I feel as though when I have multiple bones selected, I'd like to the get 'pose ball' feel for specific axes across all of my selected bones.

Does this functionality already exist? Am I missing something? Any advice?

Thanks

The Tool Settings pane may help - you can choose which axis system the gizmos will use, and you can choose to affect secondary nodes
