Just rename the head_anim_grp and that should fix it!

Cheers :)

I recently used the multi constraint setup and thought how nice it would be if when using the UI to select the constraint object, it selected that object in the scene for me. How hard would it be to change the UI script to do this?

It probably wouldn't be that difficult to do.. at what point would you want it to select?

It would be great if it selected the object at the same time I selected it in the UI.

Hmm,  that's similar to something else I'm working on, I can take a look at it on Saturday if it's not taken care of by then.

A bit late (good old real life getting in the way), but I got it working--Jason, can I just attach it to an email for the list or should I send it over to you first?

I believe this should do what James is looking for--let me know if I misread :)  Hopefully this will include the file :)

Enjoy!

Sorry Joe, doesn't work. The one I was talking about is the "Constraint Snap UI". Sorry if I wasn't clear. Thanks anyways

OK, try this one then :)  Keep in mind, it was set up before to just keep what you already had selected selected.  You might not want this if you specifically don't want this behavior.

Im having the same problem, and im looking for a fix. When i rename the group as suggested Maya groups the head_anim twice in a hierarchy and errors "more than one object with matching names" seems despite changing the name it make 2 head_anima grps as below

head_animx_grp     (changed name)
        head_anim_grp_pointConstraint
        head_anim_grp
               head_anim_grp  here's the second head_anim_grp
                      head_anim

Strange I had to reopen the file to try and it worked on the first attempt. Earlier was trying both in a new scene file with simple geos and then with the rig and getting the same result. Its working thats the main thing....Onwards and upwards. Thanks jason
