pasted next time you perform a paste operation.
Choosing to paste COM data maintains the world
space positions and orientation of the copied
COM onto the current data tracks. Otherwise,
the COM’s current positions and orientation
are maintained when the copied data tr acks are
pasted. S ee Example: To main tain copied COM
data when pasting poses: (page 2–968)

or relative COM animation. The former w ill
ov erwrite the current data with the copied one
while the latter will maintain the current data,
ignoring all copied information.
By Velocity—When on, determi nes the values of
the active COM tracks based on the previous
trajectory of the COM through t he scene.
This option is only enabled when the Paste
