A strange thing occurred today (using Moho 12). I have a fully rigged and nicely working character which I want to duplicate. So, I choose Duplicate Layer (the Layer being, of course, the character's bone layer). The character regularly copies as 'character 2', except for some reason the copy's rigging goes all wrong. A whole bunch of his body parts have come un-bound to their bones.
Now, here's the weird thing: if instead of using Duplicate Layer I use Copy Layer and Paste Layer, I get a perfectly functional copy of the character, as expected. Why would that be?

Re: Weird thing with Duplicate Layer
Thanks Reindeer for reporting as well as your workaround. This is definitely a bug in 12.0. Looking at the change notes, it was already fixed for 12.1.Reindeer wrote:A strange thing occurred today (using Moho 12). I have a fully rigged and nicely working character which I want to duplicate.

Re: Weird thing with Duplicate Layer
Yes, great workaround! Thanks for posting the tip. (I'm actually going to need that today.)

Good to know it's solved. Thank you for the reply!

Yup! It saved my day, yesterday, as I had a scene made up of ten different cloned characters.Greenlaw wrote:Yes, great workaround! Thanks for posting the tip. (I'm actually going to need that today.)
Re: Weird thing with Duplicate Layer
Had this happen to me in Pro 13 today. Thankfully the OP's workaround still works. I never would have thought of it myself, so thanks Reindeer. You've saved me a whole lot of rigging.
