yep, ww does copy over joint parameters.  it can do this automatically (just a regular convert) or manually (if you need to do a more involved conversion- for instance if you want to leave grouping alone to allow morph transfer.).   but ww wasn't my point.  i was more thinking that i would be most people would find it more than acceptable to sit and wait for  a figure (or body part) analysis prior to morph transfer.  just let them know that it's happening and progress on the task.  if that would make things easier, that is.
