Meta-Rig invisible when file is reloaded.

howdy,

My Meta-Rig is no longer visible. Whenever I re-open a file that i have been working in previously the meta rig attached to my character mesh ( posed ) is not visible or editable. it is present in the outliner which means i can view its properties, when selected i can switch between edit and pose mode and i can delete the rig to start fresh. I have toggled its visibility in the outliner and have all my layers visible. the weights are still present and i can switch through them in the vertex groups tab. The mesh remains in the pose that i left it in but from there i cant do anything else.

Double Post - please remove this.

Cheers, Clock
