hello all, it seems ,that when I save my newly made character to a pz3 file, and then reopen it Ilose all of my face dial settings ,am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in poser ,I'm using poser 4 unpatched, and the figure has the cat suit and conforming boots applied ,any help would be appreciated ,thanks. --criticom--

First off go get the patch. I have no idea if it will solve this problem but I know it will solve others you will eventually run into. Now I have it patched and my saves work fine. So that's -maybe- it but I can't be sure. One of the benifits of being patched is that I can set all my face dials and then 'spawn a morph target'. I then restore the figure which puts all dials at 0. Set my new morph target to 1 and it shapes my face to the look I wanted and is safe against getting reshaped by a poorly saved pose. I would make getting the patch your number 1 priority. If that doesn't fix it then ask us again. Also keep in mind that a restore all or restore figure sets all dials to zero.
