    Problem in mechanical rigging

    Federico Violin(federicoviolin)

    Hi to all, and I'm not so expert in using Blender.

    I've some problem in apply a Constraint in the right way, related to an empty object.

    The object is called "Spaceship - arm 01 rotator 01"; the empty object is called "Spaceship - arm 01 tracker 01".

    I need when I rotate the empty circle, also the object rotate in the same way.

    I think there's something wrong in the object axys, but I'm not sure...

    And... what is the right way to add a simple blender project in this new versione?? :O

    Thank you to help me!

      Perhaps I have the same question, or a related one.

      I have created an empty with a "Copy Rotation" constraint, and a circle as a target.

      • Target World Space <-> Owner World Space: works exactly as expected.
      • Target World Space <-> Owner Local Space: works exactly as expected.
      • Target Local Space <-> Owner World Space: target rotation (any axis) has no effect
      • Target Local Space <-> Owner Local Space: target rotation (any axis) has no effect
      I checked the documentation and I don't see any limitation to explain it.
      The Transformation constraint seems to behave similarly. I am obviously missing something.

      For "Copy Location", all combinations seem to work as expected.
