Usually I use just the main and face cameras for rendering, so I have several UI dots of each set up (did this before installing even sr1). After sr1 and now sr2, I can't change my camera views using the dropdown menu at the top of the preview window. I luckily can still change views using the dropdown on 'camera controls' though. Anybody else have this oh-so-wonderful-and-delishiously-white-trash problem?

Can you create a camera and switch to it?  I think you'd do that via Object menu -> Create camera?  It may be that the file(s) that defines the default cameras has become corrupted.

I tried creating a camera and it switched to it but, the only way to switch away from it is through the camera controls pallette. A corrupted camera file might be the problem. Any idea where or how I can fix that? Thanks for your help!

I don't know which files it'd be off the top of my head, and Poser isn't in front of me.  A lot of stuff goes in RuntimeUI, and there's also a user prefs XML file somewhere else (filename is something like userprefs1024x768.xml, depends on screen resolution).  If you have any other PC you might install Poser on it and patch it, and take the XML files that look likely from the clean install.

Be aware if you install a second copy on the same machine, it will probably screw up the first copy (registry settings).

The dropdown at the top of the preview window does not change your camera view. that just selects the camera for moving.

if you want to change views right click in the preview area and choose a camera under the camera view.

personaly i prefer using the keyboard short cuts.... especially since you can edit your  Poser7/runtime/ui/poser.xrc file and make the shortucts what you want.

Oops, you are entirely correct, I mixed that up with the right-click menu (oops!!)

Whoa! Thanks for that info! And here I thought it was a bug. See, I've jumped from P5 to P7 and in P5 you can change cameras in the preview dropdown.
