Hi Ahmidou,

Good to know !

But in my case I didn't export anything in a model. Sometime effectors diseapear when applying an expression on a bone ( can't remember the repro step but it was submitted on the bug list ).

I hope it is not Linux specific ( sorry for the Windows users ;-) ).

Cheers

Guillaume

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.

    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 !
