I did just have some success. I changed the IK solver for the IK handle to ikSCsolver and the hand did follow along. However, everything downstream of the hand (all the finger bones) stay put while...

Thanks again for the input and sorry it took me so long to reply.

I tried what you suggested but did not have success. Maybe I need clarification on your directions. When you said to "Orient...

Beautiful idea, I will give it a go. Thanks!

Thanks Dave, I get the part about adding groups for constraints. I use that method quite often.

The real problem seems to be the HIK software itself. I don't know what it takes to get HIK to...

I do appreciate it but know 2013 files are not compatible with 2009.

I can send you the scene if you want to give it a go. It would be later today before I could, however.

Oh yes, no problem there. That part works fine. It's trying to get the other hand to follow the first hand and object that's stumping me. I did group the object before trying it.

I also tried...

Thanks for the input, Dave, but that did not do the trick.

Man, this is frustrating. I am trying to avoid keyframing the second hand for the huge scene I am setting up.

I don't know why this...

Thanks, do you mean point constrain the wrist's effector to the object to be held?

Contrast, your suggestion works for custom rigs but I can't seem to get it to work for a HumanIK rig. I can get one hand to hold an object and the object follows along as expected.

But I cannot...
