Trying to use a saved antiblock but antiblock moves the character

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hello, I am trying to use animate2 for an animation project. I have not found anitblocks for sale that include the movements I need so I am starting to create my animation with poses in animate2. in my first scene I have a character waving, smiling, blinking and then will have a line of dialoge. I thought it would be best to create an anitiblock with the waving, save it, then make a anitblock for blinking since I will need that blinking movement a lot in other scenes, and then combine them using layers. My 1st antiblock looked fine in Animate2 but after saving it, when I open it and try to apply, the character moves in a tilted like way. I tried doing this a few times and made sure I had no camera movement  - but it keeps happening. I am starting with the same scene I used to create the antiblock.  

 Please see screenshots attached in a power point document.  Is there something I am doing wrong that makes the character tilt like this? I can try to re-orient the character to start the saved antiblock but when I start having scenes with multiple characters that doesn't seem like it will work as a fix.

Any suggestions would be much appreicated!  thanks

    It would be easier to see if you just attached the images, rather than turning them into a pdf.

    There's obviously some rotation applying to the figure node - the z rotation is the tilt - but there isn't enough information for me to tell why.

    Hi Richard, here are the screen shots. Yes when I hover over the antiblock or add it to Animate 2 the rotaion shows in the parameters tab but the figure didnt have any when I was setting it up in Animate2 and letting it run before saving it. I did save as the second option in the box that comes up - 'translate to object's POV' as that is what the tutorial video said to do.  thanks

    As I said, there really isn't enough information there for me to offer a suggestion - all it's showing is the end result. Can you get it to do this with a really simple example, and then give a step-by-step on that?
