Link Objects

Link objects is like using parent constraints without constraints. The tool allows you to save the relationship between several objects and apply that relationship back when needed. The usage is straightforward: first, select the objects that will follow then the main or target object. Run 'Copy Link Position'

To retrieve the object relationship, execute 'Paste Link Position'. At least one object must be selected.

The relationship between objects is saved to a file on disk, so this tool can be used across different Maya sessions.

Use the 'Auto Link' option to update the object relationship in real-time.
