Re question 2. If you have P7, follow jonnybode's advice in the second post. If you have an earlier version of Poser, then things are more complicated, and there are several ways you can proceed. The problem with earlier versions is that they don't save pose data for the BODY actor. So if you moved the figure by translating the BODY, the translations will not be recorded in the pose file. Things you can do: 1. Implement the translations in the hip instead of the BODY. This is the quickest and easiest solution.

2. Save your pose file in uncompressed pz2 format. Note down the translations (and or rotations) on the BODY dials. Open the pz2 in a text editor and manually insert a section to pose the BODY actor, eg:

{

version
        {
        number 3
        }

actor BODY:1
        {
        channels
                {
                translateX xTran
                        {
                        keys
                                {
                                k  0  1.257
                                }
                        }
                translateY yTran
                        {
                        keys
                                {
                                k  0  0.100
                                }
                        }
                translateZ zTran
                        {
                        keys
                                {
                                k  0  0
                                }
                        }

                }
        }
actor hip:1
        {
        [etc, etc...]

3. Save a cr2 in the desired pose and use the freee utility "MAT Pose Edit" to extract a pose file that includes translations for the BODY. 4. Rename the BODY actot to some other name, eg "BODYX", this will fool Poser into saving pose data for it. See my post in the thread "Creating a "walking" Pose set?" for more details.
