Yes, illusions... You seem to see where I am going. Unfortunately I tried your method four or five times and it didn't work..LOL I can't understand why. The way I have her set up is... She loads in her standard arms at the the side pose and I hit Edit/Restore/all and she moves into the zero pose... And yes you are right it does retain the MT info. But, what I really nead, is to be able to skip the 'Restore' command. It is for a professional job so I need her to look the way I intend her to be seen from the offset. Thanks for your help. If you have any futher suggestions it would be appreciated. Colm...
