Assign Controller Dialog

The Assign Controller Dialog appears when you click an attribute to let you choose a new Animation Controller and make a controller assignment.

Note: Do not confuse the Assign Controller Dialog with the Assign Controller Rollout. The Assign Controller Dialog is where you choose and assign Animation Controllers and the Assign Controller Rollout is for managing your transform controllers.
