Bone tool is not connecting to anchor points of symbols

[skug98]

Hi.

I'm trying to use the bone tool to connect two anchor points with a bone.

For some reason, when I drag from one bone to another, the bone tries to connect to the side of the screen and the symbols change location (as seen in the video).

I have IK Bone Tool unchecked so that the bone tool auto sets its location to anchor points of the symbols.

How do I get the bone tool to automatically connect to the anchor points without the symbols moving to the side of the screen? 

Thanks!

Do what TipTut suggests in the title: go to his new rigging video and abandon the bone tool.

Hi,

In your video, I noticed that some of your layers are parented.
When connecting two elements with the bone tool, they are automatically placed on a special "armature" layer, so there is no need to have parented layers. 

I recommend unparenting all the layers before creating the armature.
