Quote - Copying a string of bones in the Setup room (left-right symmetry): it's there. You'll have to create the left-hand series of bones yourself, but with the Figure->Symmetry command you can mirror all joint parameters between rigth hand and left hand bones.
Although the setup room definitely requires improvement. Naming of bones goes wrong, inserting a bone moves the endpoint of the parent bone, numerical entry fields need more than 3 decimals, etc etc.
A new and improved Poser should be rebuild from the ground up, using modern object oriented design, and scriptability built right into each and every object, instead of being tacked on later. A full multithreaded standards-compliant Python would also be great.
And please, a configurable user interface that wastes far less screen real estate....
I absolutely agree with this - especially the part about rebuilding Poser with a new modern foundation. Poser is really a circa early 1990's hack in terms of computer software technology. However, I'm not hopeful that this will be addressed by the new owners.
