Multiple instances in an Action

[Eric2575]

I rigged a simple mechanical model to rotate two arms. This model will be multiplied in an action 10x. Is there a way to move the rigged arm on one of the instances and have that carry over to the other 9 instances? The arms should all move in tandem. One bone at a time is very tedious.

Could you not do it in a pose? Or in an action for one and put it on multiple copies of a chor? I don't think you can copy keyframes from one instance to another inside an action.

Can the mechanism be done with an expression..I made this simple model rotating two wheel in opposite directions controlled with an expression and then dragged the model into an action and got this

 

machine.mov

 

wheels.zip

 

 

Otherwise like Ken said make one action and drop multiple models into the chor wiith the action

I don't think an expression would work in this case, but I like the idea. Now a pose, that might do the trick.
