Quote - LesBentley.. I'm curious.. Why a .cm2 file?  Can camera files do something other files can't? I guess what I'm asking is why not make it a pose file?

Markschum is on the right track. You could save the file as a pz2, but then it would only work if there was a figure in the scene. You don't even get the tick (U.S="check") mark in pose pallet until a figure is loaded. With a cm2 (camera) file it can be applied whether or not there is a figure in the scene. Note also that I have addressed the prop as "actor", this is the key factor in making a pose work on a prop that is not parented to a figure.
