To create an IK handle

1. Do one of the following in the Animation menu set:
   • Select Skeleton > IK Handle Tool.
   • If you want to set the IK Handle Settings first, select Skeleton > IK Handle Tool > . (See also Specify the IK Handle Tool’s settings.)

     For example, you can use the IK Handle Settings to select the IK solver you want to use to calculate the orientation of the joints in the IK handle’s joint chain.

   Your mouse pointer changes to the tool’s crosshair cursor.

2. Click the joint in your joint chain that you want as your IK handle’s start joint.
3. Click the joint in your joint chain that you want as your IK handle’s end joint.

   An IK handle that starts and ends at the joints you selected appears on the joint chain.
