Object Mode and Pose Mode

Menu

Object ‣ Constraint ‣ Add constraint (with Targets)

Adds a constraint to the active object. The type of constraint must be chosen from a pop-up menu, though it can be changed later from the Add Constraint (with Targets) Adjust Last Operation panel. If there is an other object selected besides the active one, that object will be the constraint target (if the chosen constraint accepts targets).

When using a bone from another armature as the target for a constraint, the tool will look inside the non-active armature and use its active bone, provided that armature is in Pose Mode.
