I've had great help from the forum on Poser 6 questions whose answers are not to be found in the manual and aren't intuitive to a P4 user. Here's another: How to replace a figure (so as to retain poses). In P4, click select the figure, select the libary replacement figure, then click on the single check. But in Poser 6 ...

Should be exactly the same ...

Should work the same. P6 has an option that you can now tell poser that double click on a figure can either replace or create a new figure. Before it always defaulted to replace. But single check box should always replace. Make SURE you have the base figure you wish to replace selected and not one of their clothing. Also, if you replace a figure you will have to eliminate or reconform all the remain clothes. Also P6 does some weird thing where, if you chain load a bunch of figures (load them one after another) P6 SAYS it has the last character loaded selected but, in reality it has some other character selected.

The only caveat I've found so far in replacing figures is that the new figure takes on the name of the old figure. For example, if you have James Casual in the scene and replace him with Jessi, Jessi takes on the name James Casual.

Yes, thanks very much. For some reason I never saw the single and double checks in P6. This makes life easy. I appreciate the help.
