Subject : Re: Fk ik switch problem
Thanks for the tip,
I solved the problem by constraining orientation my buggy bone to an arm
chain that works , and blend between my animation on the bone and the
orientation constrain of the ik system.

But if it will be a pos key than ist realy stupied me
Have to check.

Regards and thanks 

Holger
