2 On the Keyframing Tools rollout, click the button for the
limb you want to anchor: Anchor Right Arm, Anchor Left Arm, Anchor
Right Leg, or Anchor Left Leg.
NOTE The arm or leg you select beforehand does not actually have to be
the same as the arm or leg you are anchoring.
3 Set keys for the arm or leg as described in the previous procedure.
NOTE You can also use anchors to hold a foot or hand in position while you
render the animation. However, be aware that anchors are turned off when
you close the MAX file. If you want to use anchors from one session to the
next, you must turn them on again the next time you open the file.
