body Main Bone position change?

Hi Wayne, 

I notice in this lesson you have centred the body main bone in the x direction.  In the previous lessons it wasn't x-centred (was this a mistake?).  Was it any easy change? or are there any tips we should be aware of if you have to re-position a parent bone after it has a hierarchy of children and constraints applied?

thanks

    ah yes - I think I accidentally didn't have the cursor in the middle when I recorded that bit.

    Yes it's an easy fix.
    In Edit mode -
    select all the offending bones
    place your cursor at the world origin (Shift S > World Origin)
    Then scale the bones around the cursor but constrain only to the X axis (S > X > 0)
    But make sure your pivot point is the cursor.

    This will shift those bones to the the mid line.
