    Hello. I have rigged 2d sprite, with bones, weights. I've spend a lot on time on it and at Sprite Editor all is set perfect. The problem is that bones are behaving differently at Sprite Editor and Scene View. All I need is to prevent bones from sliding apart in Scene View. I've tried with IK 2D Manager, but results on Limbs and Chains were heavily limiting smoothness of original rigg's movement.

    Do You have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thank's

    Animating by moving joints instead of bones is not allowed currently. Technical reason behind is that moving the joint would mean that the bone up the hierarchy is scaled up and that would affect all the bones down the hierarchy.

    If you want to animate limbs, or chains of bones you could also use 2D IK.

    Thank you for a quick reply and explanation. I've managed to save this rigg by changing a bit the hierarchy of bones. Everything works well.
