Poser 5 version 5.0.4.325 (which is the current patch version) Okay, used Judy and V3 this time. Did exactly what you said, copied frame 1 to frame 3, left frame 2 at -40. Frame 3 took the twist okay 30 same as frame 1. Also, for the heck of it pasted frame 1 onto frame 2. Same thing. Old -40 setting was overwritten with new 30 twist setting. Perhaps this was a bug in an earlier version or else something up with your copy.
