Hi NightHawkRN.

I know WHY, but am not sure (exactly) HOW to overcome this problem (I know it's easy, I've just forgotten the steps)

You get the message 'cos your Poser figure is still linked to Poser. Meaning that if you make any changes to the llinked figure in Poser you will get a dialogue saying "this object has been changed; Reload?) (or words to that effect).

You need to break that link.

Alas, I can't remember exactly how to do that. When it happens to me I can remember (eventually) but right now you'll probably get quicker answers from the other members in this forum..

Cheers,
Diolma
