I know in poser you're able to lock hand parts and figures.. Is there some way you can lock other single body parts beside just hands? For instance.. say im working on a pose.. and have the top half of the body looking just the way I want it.. am I able to lock the upper body parts.. so i can then work on posing the legs or something.. without risk of somehow messing up the part of the pose that im happy with?? Any help or suggestions appreciated

After you have achieved the perfect pose you could save the file or the pose, that way if you mess it up you can just re-pose the figure with one click.

MUAHAHAhahahaah.. dances round in near hysterical relief thanks galactron22... will be taking that suggestion on board re saving poses.. saving is something i dont do often enough in general as it is! lol lock actor in the objects dropdown menu was what i was looking for .. and HUGE thank you to Shoshanna for taking the time to point me at that.. knew it was there somewhere.. but sure couldnt find it :o/ lol Cheers everyone! :-)

And even quicker way to save temporary poses is to just click the pose dot. You can save up to nine poses that way.

If you constantly need to lock and unlock a group of body parts, then pose files can be constructed to make the job easier. Below is an example of a pz2 that will lock the hip, abdomen, and chest. The pose to unlock them is the same except it uses 'locked 0'.
