@ Bob,

Yes, I agree, pose overflow can be more of a blessing than a curse. For better or worse, it seems to be gone in P6. I think it still used to happen in P5, but can't remember for sure. I did a few tests in P6, with and without actor numbers (:#) in the pz2, with and without one figure parented to the other, there was no spillover of the pose in P6.

Any way it's too finer day to ruminate over Poser, I'm off to climb Pendle Hill!
