Copy Location Constraint

Description

The Copy Location constraint forces its owner to have the same location as its target.

Note that if you use such a constraint on a connected bone, it will have no effect, as it is the parent’s tip which controls the position of your owner bone’s root.

Options

Copy Location panel

Target

This constraint uses one target, and is not functional (red state) when it has none.

Bone

If Target is an Armature, a new field is displayed offering the optional choice to set an individual bone as Target.

Head/Tail

If a Bone is set as Target, a new field is displayed offering the optional choice of where along this bone the target point lies.

Vertex Group

If Target is a Mesh, a new field is displayed offering the optional choice to set a Vertex Group as target.

X, Y, Z

These buttons control which axes (i.e. coordinates) are constrained – by default, all three ones are.

Invert

The Invert buttons invert their respective preceding coordinates.

Offset

When enabled, this control allows the owner to be translated (using its current transform properties), relative to its target’s position.

Space

This constraint allows you to choose in which space to evaluate its owner’s and target’s transform properties.
