Create a pole vector constraint

A pole vector constraint causes the end of a pole vector to move to and follow the position of an object, or the average position of several objects. For more information on pole vector constraints, see Pole ector constraints. For more information on pole vector constraints, see Pole vector constraints.

When creating pole vector constraints, you can first set creation options and then create a pole vector constraint, or you can immediately create a constraint with the current creation options.

To create a pole vector constraint

  1. Select one or more target objects, followed by the IK rotate plane handle whose pole vector you want to constrain.
  2. Select Constrain > Pole Vector > to view the Pole Vector constraint options.
  3. Set the following options:
    • Click Add or Apply to create a pole vector constraint.
    • In the window’s Edit menu, select Save Settings to save the constraint options.
    • In the window’s Edit menu, select Reset Settings to reset to the default constraint options.
    • Click Close to close the Pole Vector Constraint Options window.
