The Lock to World tool does the same job as the Anchor Transform Tool - which no longer works in newer versions of Maya (since the upgrade to Python 3).
Sliding feet can be a problem when animating a character walk or a walk cycle. Fortunately for Maya animators, the Lock to World tool created by Framestore Animator Jesse Ong Pho offers a simple solution.
Rather than manually tweaking your animation to stop the feet sliding, this script lets you anchor a transform for any given time range in your animation.
