Hi Guillaume
one case where you can loose an effector is when you export a chain in a model  but the effector is outside the model.

2007/10/26, Guillaume Laforge < guillaume(at)alamaison.fr>:
Pb solved. There was a 2D chain with  a root, a bone and no effector ! I
don't know how this is possible to remove the effector in XSI, but it is
not the first time I see this weird behavior.

The guilty 2D chain can be exported in a model without problem for XSI (
see attached file )...

I replaced this little chain by a new one and now the Dupplicate
Symmetry works like before.

Ouf !
