Hi,

Is there a way to make the bone tool, bones, show in a smaller size?. I’m using the bone tool on a small character that i’ve already drawn, but each bone is so massive that it almost completely covers my character, preventing me from seeing where each bone starts and ends properly.

It’s ok if I enlarge my character movieclip to the size of my stage, but sometimes I don’t want to do this… and just want to keep to the original dimensions.

Is there an option somewhere which lets me reduce the size of the bones?

Thanks
