HumanIK LRA reset bug

[walter-woodgreen]

Hey fellows! I'v tried 4 hours to work around this very anoying bug, but with no success so i hope maybe somone with greater wisdom than mine could help. So It's about humanIK rig in maya 2013 wich i'm using. I have propotieoned my skeleton insde my character and i have dealt the LRA (local rotation axis), now the  problem. When ever i try to (in Character Controls window) skeleton->edit->save edits, all my LRA's get reseted, they allso get reseted if i go ahead and do CTRL rig and sometimes even if i open file and go to skeleton->humanIK to get that humanIK panel. 

This is very thrustrating and i'm kind a hurry cos i'm available to get some sweet mocap data with brand new mocap system and got few days to get it done, but i'm affraid to skin character with uncorrect LRA's.

I managed to somehow work around this bug, by exporting  only the skeleton--> create new scene--> import skeleton in--> create there the control rig--> export/ save as maya ACII. Load my orginal scene--->import skeleton with control rig--> delete orginal one and here u go for skinning.

All tough when i first did this and saved, next time i loaded file skeleton was screwd, but when i added key frame to frame 1
i have now weightpainted character fully and seems to be allright.

This problem was very thrustrating and i hope this can help some ufellow cg struglers
