resetting a character to original position

[tiannaidan]

This may be posted but I haven't found it if it is.Is there a way to return a figure to it's original pose position?
I thought I read in a tutorial something about how to do this but can't find it now.

What do you mean by 'original'?

I'm guessing that copying the keyframes from frame zero should do the trick. But everything depends on how you've setup your character.

Sorry,let me be more specific. If I start to move a character,particularly the legs,and after making several changes to the character decide I need to start over...how can I return the character to the position it was before I began without having to take the time to move everything back manually?In some 3D programs there is a setting known as "rest" position which is the normal state a character is before animation.Is there something like that in AS?

Frame "0" is really the equivalet of a bone reset in AS. If you have moved the bones at frame "0" using any of the bone tools other than the bone manipulate tool the movements will likely be permanent and the bones will have to be dragged back to their original positions manually. A good practice is to move the timeline marker away from frame "0" when experimenting with bones and also make a backup copy of your original character. In case of emergencies, just delete the old character and re-import the backup into AS.
