Fascinating, that shouldn't be happening. The logic of the parenting is that everything should be centred to the right hand and when you move that, all other parented items will follow it. Logical progression should be right hand -> first prop part -> second prop part -> left hand. This should cause the prop to follow the right hand, the second prop part to follow this and the left hand to follow the second parented prop. Exception being in the case of (cr2) props with two defined body parts where the hands would be parented to the prop itself. This results (when IK is on) in the hands/arms following the prop when it is moved. Makes posing a bit more tricky but it works. I'm not entirely certain why the hand on your figure is flying off into the air like that, not having Poser 5 means I can't replicate this and track what's going on. The logic of the parenting process should be the same, the basic architecture of Poser 5 is no different to P4 so it should work. The link Jackson posted does work as I tried it last night though it's a bit more involved when posing the character as it centres on the prop rather than a body part. Sorry Estherau, bit stumped here.
