mnsSpacesTool


=== Author: Assaf Ben Zur ===
This simple animation tool was created to allow animators to space switch and IK->FK switch easily.
This tool is selection based. Please select controls to enable relevant capabilities.
For spaces, simply select the controls you want to act upon, choose your target spaces, and press "switch". This will switch the space, while maintaining the controls's transforms, using keys created automatically.
For Limbs, simple select any control/s for the limbs that you wish to act upon, and press the relevant button- To-IK or To-FK.
This will switch the limb/controls to the selected state.
This tool also includes Auto-Key switches, as well as a sequence and bake modes.
