Thanks Imso,
I have used roadkill in the past. I'll take a look at the latest version. I find that Maya's unwrap uv's added a couple revs back works very well for me.
I found the way to fix the problem I was having. After soft binding and positioning the leg I delete the skeleton which leaves the leg in the extended position along with deleting the history. Then I can either planner or cylindrical project the UV's.
