Locking the states of an object

[redstone939 116]

So I got back into mine-imator a bit and something that`s bugging me is that some objects have to be rotated to be in the wanted location/rotation of some rigs/models . however when the user wants to reset the position of the rig/model , they have no clue which one they`ll have to leave for the model to be in a working state. so I was thinking about a lock/unlock option for the rotation and location statuses on all x / y / z axis so even if we right click the propprety to reset it , it`ll be locked and we won`t be able to do so .

here is what I mean by all this:

Go to the right of a object and there should be 3 little icons. The left one is the keyframes. The middle is lock/unlock. The right is the visibility.

Look at the right. You'll see icons. On the timeline.

I think you are saying that you want to be able to lock each keyframe setting individually? Like leaving the x-rot active, but preventing the y- and z-rot? I like the idea, and is would be very helpful for rigging.

This would be nice to have for sure. Probably seperate checkboxes underneath the parent functions where rotation and position are located only associated to axes of position and roation. Sounds easy to add
