No Duplicate names or staticValue line. However there was a refFigureJamesG2 lines with a figure and associated body parts and a thighlength=0 reference which I removed. The two poses are towing position (legs together) and firing position (legs splayed). the firing pose took but the other didn't and looking at both pose files the key values were exactly the same. Changing the key value in the tow file allowed both poses to take but when you try to move an individual leg and then apply the pose again they kick everything out of kilter . Sorry if I'm not explaining everythin clearly but its easier to see whats happenning than explain it.
