Question

Pin tool is not working

I'm wanting to pin the shoulders of my character so his head can move without his shoulders lifting off. I've done this before with the pin and stick tools, but nothing I try now is working.

Could you share a screenshot including which layer the pin is on?

Hi, Thanks for your reply, actually, this is the first time I'm writing to such a forum and so I really appreciate your time. 

Actually, since I wrote that message I realise it is not an issue of pinning. It's something else that I'm missing. 

To test our my rig I have been looking at the "Rin" character from the home page of Ch. She has a torso and head that moves in the way I want so I've replicated the rigging exactly but my character's torso still floats - it is not fixed to the bottom of the screen like Rin is. So then I used the "edit original" function and swapped out Rin's original content for my content (and deleted unwanted layers). This works very well - my character's torso is now fixed. However, if I save "Rin" as a new file and open this a s a new puppet in Ch it reverts back to the original problem - the torso is not fixed to the bottom of the screen.

Have you any ideas what I am missing?
