Q: How do I save a magnet as a smart prop? A: Unlike ordenary props magnets will automaticly save as smart props when saved to a props pallet. Just select the magnet, click the '+' in the pallet to save it, a 'Set Name' box will pop up, use the 'Select Subset' button to include the Base, Mag, and Zone. If you want you can save multiple magnets to one pp2 (prop) file. Q: You think if I save them as smart props, load a magnetless figure, apply a pose, and THEN apply my magnet props it'll work? A: It's worth a try!


Another thought. The poses you are applying, were they saved whilst the magnet was attached? If so I think that the pose file will restore the magnet to the position (relitive to the body part) that it had when the pose was saved. If you moved the magnet after the pose was saved, then the pose may just be restoring the magnet to its previous position. On the other hand perhaps this is a bug in P6, I don't have P6 myself, I mostly use P4, and have never noticed this problem you are having.
