joint orientation?
I have 3 joints in a chain. Now what i want is for Z axis to point to the next joint in the chain, and for all the X axis for all joints ot be parrelel. If you imagine the three points forming a triangle. Each Z axis would be an edge to the triangle, and the X Axis for each joint would be at exactly 90 degrees to the triangle. Is this possible without manually doing it? Its killing me trying to manually eyeball it.

Display -> Transform Display -> Local Rotation Axes
then open the Orient Joint Options Box
and play with the settings.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
