Yes, I was using the main camera when I was placing the bones. 

I'm not really comfortable with cameras and TBH the only cameras that I do use are "Main", sometimes "Posing" and "Face"  I usually just swing around with the main one then go and reset it again and then change my focal lengths back to my desired settings. I know... more work but I've always been more comfortable with "drop down menus" than keyboard shortcuts and all of those cameras are more like keyboard shortcuts to me and take me out of my comfort zone.

Which camera should I be using when I place the bones?

Quote - Hint ... we do NOT want to use Auto Group on the chain figure.

Can you figure out why?

I'm confused about the "Auto Group" now.  Earlier you said to use it, but now you say not to?

heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
