Functionality
An interactive tool for creating Smart Magnet Rig ™ hierarchies.
FreeStyle Rigging (SMR Tool) is usually grouped with KineFlex (SMR Tool).
It can be chosen by long-clicking the KineFlex icon and then choosing 
from the drop-down or by using the FreeStyle Rigging (SMR Tool) command or pressing F4. The cursor becomes a +.
In Animate 2020 and newer, click on the … at the bottom of the toolbar, find the tool’s icon in the pool of tools and drag it to a desired location in toolbar. (Click for details…
)
Rigging is done in direction from ‘parent’ to ‘child’.
Best practice would be to start from the Master Parent and branch out from there according to a FK logic.
Clicking on a Symbol instance and dragging in the direction of another Symbol instance will draw bounding boxes around the source and the target instance and will show a dynamic arrow pointing from the source to the target. Upon mouse-release the target symbol will become a child of the source symbol. If Magnet Target is not present in the parent symbol it will be added automatically and so will be a Center Marker in the child symbol.

Known issues
Plugin tool script error in method mouseUp: If you see this message in Output, that means that the JSFL engine has crashed the tool. You need to restart Flash / Animate to be able to continue using it.
System Clipboard interference
A known issue with all versions of Flash and Animate is that data stored temporarily in the System Clipboard can be exposed to interference by other programs running at the same time as Flash/Animate. This can cause an error during EDAPT Object creation or insertion.

I just experimented with the ‘make Edatptable’ and the FreeStyle Rigging tools. WOW!! Can this toolset get any better? Is there a way to expose the Smart Magnet Rig and make manual adjustments to it?
