OK - Heres one.

Having done some binding, skinning, testing, un-binding,and
weight painting, I find that Maya wont let me "Go To Bind Pose"
unless I first delete all my IK handles.

Its a pain having to re-apply IK handles every time I re-bind
a character, so can anyone offer a solution to going to the
bind pose with IK handles intact?

Or is it actually impossible?
