I also voted.  For anyone who does anything close to traditional animation, local axis manipulation is critical for posing.  Some kind of local axis "reset" would also be useful (for when appendages become too twisted to function).

As to the vote thresh-hold, I have to assume after the fiascoes of 7.3 (and now it appears 7.4) -- which personally cost me five weeks of work and a roll-back to 7.2 -- that Reallusion is so busy sucking up to the gaming community with CC3, they no longer give a cr@p about anyone who might need a stable and consistent render engine, a posing system where limbs that are locked don't move, and a file system that doesn't render previous projects completely unusable just because you implemented a bug-fix (ooops, I mean "upgrade").  But I'm just speculating, here.

Thank you for the feedback. 

In iClone, Edit Motion Layer controls the motion bone, not the skin bone. This means that if we have Local Move this will cause issues with the character (skin bone). However, resolving the Motion Bone and Skin Bone issue is on our todo list so we hope to be able to add Local Move at some point in the future.

That's great to hear, thanks Peter.

Hi im no programming expert but isnt adding a local axis move simply an addition of an extra layer of mathematical programming that inputs into world axis move that doesnt need to "effect" motion bone and skin bone downstream?

So to explain 

If a user is in the requested local axis move mode and moves the hand straight forward. The program will do the "hard work" for you. It will calculate out what world axis move inputs are required to simulate your desired local axis input . So whilst you are thinking you are moving a hand forward in local axis mode. What the program is doing is saying " ok then your actually moving your hand 20 pixels in world axis x to every 45 pixels in world Z ,  so im going to do that simultaneously in world axis mode as to not mess around with "supposed skin bones" , and what you will see is the hand going straight forward relative to the avatars direction - exactly as you desire!

Could this not be an easy workaround ?

Is it very hard to add a coordinate transformation matrix?
