How to Rig a Drawn Character in Adobe Animate (Rig Mapping Tutorial | Step by Step)

In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to rig a custom drawn character in Adobe Animate using Rig Mapping. Unlike the Bone Tool, Rig Mapping allows you to auto-map joints, place anchor points, and quickly build a clean character skeleton inside Animate . We’ll start from a prepared character design, convert layers to symbols, adjust anchor points, and then use the Rig Mapping panel to automatically create the bone structure for the head, body, arms, and legs. By the end, you’ll have a fully rigged character ready for animation.
