I've got a .ma scene and I'm trying to put an ikhandle on an arm of a skeleton but it wont let me do it? is the fact is a .ma scene something to do with it? All the 'enable ik handles' nonsense is switched on under the modify and skeleton menus too!

ok just try this

in the "panel" menu -> show select show all

the ik handle need, some different then joint ( i dont know: pivots or something)

it should work this way (...hopefully)

It shouldn't be the fact that it's an .ma file, they're just like uncompressed .mb files.

my model is actually set up as a character set too. Will this prevent me from applying ik and things after I've created clips and poses?

nope. I tried removing the character set then applying an ikhandle and I'm having no luck. does anyone have any suggestions?
