Maya: Can't use Aim constrain on Joint

SanderDL

Hey

I'm trying to fix the orientation of a joint by using a locator and aim constrain in Maya. However it doesn't seem to work with a joint. If I try to change a cylinder with aim constraint it does work.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? This is the error Maya gives:

// Error: Could not add constraint or connections.

Thanks in advance.

That's a really unhelpful error message. I just tried adding an aim constraint to a joint using a locator and didn't get any error messages. Are you able to post or send the file you're working with? Just curious if it's something specific to what you've got that's causing the issue.
