Smartbone edits not showing in mainline

I’m not understanding an issue I’m having with a smartbone that seems so basic.

I have two layers in a bone layer (color and line). I have points on each layer bound to the bone B1. I have created a Smartbone action that corrects placement of points and handles when B1 is scaled (picture ‘A’). BUT - when back on the main timeline and when bone B1 is scaled, the smartbone action is not being applied. (Picture ‘B’).

Why is the smartbone action not correcting the points on the mainline that I’ve adjusted on the color layer in the action? There has got to be something fundamental that I’ve forgotten.

Smart bones only work for bone rotation, not scale or translation.

You'll need a smart bone that targets your scaled bone: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4yu8wpez ... .moho/file
