The question is if you want to save morphs, so you can add all of the right dials to a Blank.CR2(Figure;) or of you just want a file that will turn all the dials, of all the morphs already in a figure, to specific values.

To add all the right dials to a Figure.CR2, that does'nt have the dials; you would need a program called Injection Pose Builder, availalble at Daz3d.com.  It's like $30, but if your a Platinum Club Member($25?) then it's $1.99; and then you get a similar discount on bunch of other DAZ stuff, as well as bunch of free stuff(like M2)

To just record all of the values, of existing dials, you want t create a MOR .PZ2(Pose File.)  You'll need to research the forum for applications which will create one, or how to hand code one.  Posercan almost make a MOR file for itself; and help you get around not having one.  When you have the dials all spun save a file int he Pose library; and when Poser asks you if you want to "Include morph channels," click yes.  Now whenever you apply this Pose Library .PZ2 all of the dials you had in the figure, when you saved the .PZ2, will take on the value recorded in the .PZ2.  The problem is that this will also change the figures pose to(Joint Rotations, Transitions, Etc.)  So to get around this just save another Pose Library file, of the Pose you really want; but, this time, click no when it asks you if you want to include morph channels.  Now, can apply the first Pose.PZ2, to set the dials; and then the second Pose.PZ2 to set the pose.  BTW - If Transition gives you a problem(where the figure is in the scene before and after you save a .pz2) see here.  It has something to do with having the Hip selected when you save or apply a .PZ2; but I've got it wrong, so I wrote a thread and asked.
