This sounds like a useful variant of the "ERC injection" poses. I am, by the by, perfectly satisfied that you or I can get a scene working the way we want it to. What makes me cry, as a Poser content provider, is being unable to keep another end-user from getting themselves into a tangle. I may be in a bad mood today anyhow -- I've finally figured out how to properly pose a microphone cable on a mic stand (or any similar wiring setup) but I just can't see it as being a plausible method for the average user. (Just to drag this thread thoroughly off-topic, it involves pre-posing an easy-pose cable, exporting the obj, bringing it back in, then running a cloth sim that uses only the strip of guide polygons I built into the cable as a dynamic element. The result; a cable that is wrapped around, sags between wraps, lies on the floor at the free end, and doesn't "deflate" from the sim.)
