Its an FK chain and we have some fancy synoptic commands for matching chains to other chains, etc. I just wanted to what you said at the end...copy a rotation value and apply it to something else. I just don't know how in vbs...I'm not a coder...just hack at things I've collected or seen before. I've tried a few things but my syntax is clearly wrong. Didn't know if anyone had any good reference or scripts around that did something like this. I don't need to make a collection or anything as its attached to a button...just a "match bone1 to bone2" thing.
