editing the bones and armature
The Subselection tool can move the joints within a shape. However, the location of
the joints within the shape can be edited only when you have a single pose for your
armature. After your armature has been repositioned in later frames of the Pose
layer, changes to the bone structure cannot be made.
Use the Selection tool if you want to move the entire armature to a different loca-
tion but keep the bone structure unchanged.
1 Choose the Subselection tool.
2 Click on a joint.
3 Click and drag the joint within the shape to a new location.
4 Choose the Selection tool. Hold down the Alt/Option key and drag the entire
armature (and the shape around it) to a new location.
P Note: You can easily remove bones or add more bones to your armature. Choose the Selection
tool and click on the bone you want to delete. Press the Delete key to remove the selected bone;
all the child bones will be removed as well. Add new bones by choosing the Bone tool and clicking
on the armature.
