First off - you don't need to pose the clothes themselves. When you do the "conform to..." the clothing will snap to fit the figure in its current position (though you may need to adjust if the figure is in an extreme pose). From that point on, the clothes follow the figure. Other than for speed, there's no harm in adding the clothes before you start posing. Second, the figure names. This really irritates me - MC should have given each piece of clothes a speific name, so you don't have to figure out which piece of clothes "figure #5" is. Fortunately, there's a fix, but it takes some work outside of poser with a good text editor. What you do is this: 1) Open up the "CR2" file for a piece of clothes with your text editor. 2) Find "Figure". Repeat until you see a line that reads something like this " name Figure x" 3) Change just the "Figure x" part to the name you want to give the figure. Leave the white space and the rest of the line alone. You don't need to put in a number after the name. 4) Save the CR2. 5) later rinse repeat for all the other clothing CR2s. There's other neat things you can do too, such as removing unused "Material" data, so you don't have, say, a "lips" entry on a shirt, but that's for another day. PV P.S. Mac users may need to change the file's type/creator before they can open the cr2 directly, and then use macconverter to put it back.
