odf,

Quote - If you think there's anything else in need of fixing in the CR2s, let me know.

In the 121 cr2 the translation dials are unhidden for all actors. This is unusual, and I think it is a bad idea as it makes it too easy to translate an actor by mistake. Normally it is only the hip and eyes that have the translation dials visible, and I think that is the best way.

I remember we had a discussion about translation limits being forced at zero for all actors in a previous version of Antonia. I argued that it was safe to un-force them, one of the reasons was precisely because the translate dials would be hidden. The eyes are a special case, because unlike any other actors, they often need to be translated to accommodate a head morph. For the eyes only, the benefits seem to outweigh the risks, though even there it is open to debate, in V4 eye translation is hidden. Of course the hip  needs to be translatable. Dials  in the goal actors of IK chains will automatically become visible when the IK chains are turned on.

If it is felt that it might be desirable to have all the translate dials visible in some circumstances, then a pose file could be made to do this. I would be happy to supply such a pose if anyone thinks it would be useful.
