Perhaps I should explain a bit...<br><br>by default, most rigs will be set to 'shaded' drawtype, which means that any meshes consisting of edges+verts only will not appear if the view drawtype is solid or greater. To get around this, many riggers had to resort to setting their rigs to be 'wireframe' only. This works fine as long as you don't want some shaded controls too. Also, there are problems when proxifying rigs, since the rig gets assigned to a new object which will by default have 'shaded' drawtype. This was quite undesireable for animators to have to remember to do that on every shot they set up. Rather, getting the rigger to specify this as part of their rig specifications is a better idea IMO. <br>

</div>It doesn't work like that right now, but couldn't it just use the max draw type value from the source object?<br>
