I've never used the Direct Manipulation tool for moving body parts. I've only used it for moving props mostly. Today, in fact, I was beta testing a set which included a cane for each of a character's hands, and then had a "grip" set up in the Hands library to have the character actually grip it, but it wound up only 1/2 way in the character's hand, so I used the Direct Manipulation tool to slowly raise it fully into the hand, viewing it with the appropriate Hand Camera.

That's usually the type of movement I use that tool for. Thanks for the information though, as now I'm going to try and see if I could use it for moving fingers and such for posing.
