    Set the rest position

    To define a constrained object’s default position

    1. Select the constrained object for which you want to define the rest position.
    2. Set the constrained object’s target weights to 0.
    3. Move the constrained object to a new position or leave it at its current position.
    4. From the Constrain menu, select Constrain > Set Rest Position.
