I've been using bones to do this - overlapping subgroups and all 
and haven't had any problems.
Keep trying - need more details to know what you're doing wrong.

Click on "World" instead of "Local" scaling and this will work for you.

Gees - stop being so fuckin' whinney.  If you need an answer that only
Impulse can give you - call Impulse.  I'm the only one here with an 
internet account, and I think Mike only gets fragments of stuff from this
list.  You're cluttering the net by writing notes to Impulse on the net.
I haven't had any time to be on the IML answering questions lately - 
Why? - maybe I'm working...

Anyway, to answer your question - The texture and object info were just 
finished and will probably be released on Friday or Monday.  We haven't
decided wether or not to release the FX info since the FX handling in 
Imagine isn't very mature or locked down yet (one of the things we 
anticipated getting done before V3.0, but that fell off the priority
list).  We may release some of the safer stuff, but the FX handling is
pretty limited so far (and so complex that I'm not sure how to go about
documenting it).

P.S. Go to hell, Setzer.  You know we don't like you :->

In the spline editor - switch to object mode (alt-2) -  Delelte the parent
axis - multipick all the letters - select "join" form the menus.  There,
now you've got one axis for the whole logo.
