I'll check out that link and perhaps the book too [though that will have to wait a bit] I am used to working with the joint editor but I feel that to solve some problems with figures, dealing directly with the CR2 is likely the way to go.  I already do a lot of other things with the CR2 files but my lack of information has kept me away from some parts and I'm thinking it's time to look at them [heh] especially since I'm having a real challenging time trying to get a pair of pants to conform correctly and I think I'm coming close to the end of what I can do with the mesh, grouping and joint editing in Poser and there are a couple things that just keep eluding me, which is why I'm looking at the CR2 and this area of it in particular.
