Hello. How do I copy and alter a rg withoout changing the ooriginal rig. For instance, II want to re-se the same character dancing but change to colours. But every time I change the colour it alters the original rig.

    Use Duplicate Symbol Recursive.

    Thanks Nick. I will try that but I'm pretty sure there is a way to duplicate without using any plug ins. I used to do it on a TV series I worked on but I've forgotten how! I will try your powertool though!

    The layers aren't parented. The rig is made of armature/bones all inside one comp. I suppoose I should learn more about the parenting idea! I copied my character comp but when I dragged it onto the stage the smbols were all stacked and not in the right place.

     


    Here is a little video I recorded for you which shows the process:

    Hope this helps!
