Thanks everyone... I think you guy's have hit the nail on the head. I am using Poser 4.02 on Win2K. Just never got around to upgrading. I have other issues that I think that may resolve too. I too believe that the process of saving to the figures library retains the pose information. You are right. It just doesn't do it on my system with this setup. I tried your other sugestion 'illusion' and I got exactly the same result. I also tried it on Syyds system, Win98' and it works fine, so I guess it has to be a bug. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I will upgrade tomorrow and if it still doesn't work I will let you know and maybe I will contact 'Curious Labs'... Colm...
