I have Poser 4.0.3 without PPP. When I made the image in the message at the thread at this link, I saved its .pz3 file. Just now I called that .pz3 file again. This image is the bottom left part of its screen display as it came up at the start of the run, showing the selected character and the selected part. As you will see, on starting it selected the pickaxehandle's hull. But pickaxe handles don't have hulls????? (The pickaxe handle is clipped to the dumper driver's copbelt.) I have had cases before of me selecting another character and the (selected part name indication) continuing to look at the character that was selected before. And now, on starting it selected the last character in the list of characters (which happened to be the man's pickaxehandle), but as "selected part" it selected the dredger-sub's hull. Has this bug been cured in Psoer 5?

I think this has to do with the defaultPick command in a .cr2 If the character that you select does not have a defaultPick (some of them don't) the body part/prop that was selected before will remain "selected". If you drop down the list, you'll find that the list has been updated to show only the body paorts/props of the currently selected character. Poser 5 behaves identically. I do not think it's a bug in Poser, I think it's an oversight of the character creators not to include a defaultPick.

And it's #@%$ confusing when I am looking at a character A's BODY and then I select character B (not by clicking it in the image but by the popup menu that shows when I click the left triangle below the image) and that leaves Poser looking at character B but character A's BODY, since B also has a BODY. Then, when I move any of the parameter dials, character A moves. Please tell Curious Labs to put this right in Poser 6.

Well, at least THAT problem does not occur with my installation of Poser 5. When I switch characters using the pulldown, and then use the dials, the correct character moves. FYI, I have Poser 5 SR3, PC version, running on Windows XP with the latest patches.
