Possible reasons that a prop would not translate or rotate. 1. The prop is 'Locked'. Unlock it from the Object menu.

2. The prop is parented to a figure that is locked. Unlock the figure from the Figure menu.

3. The movement has been constrained by a combination of the 'min', 'max', and 'forceLimits' lines in the affected channels. Use a text editor to edit the file. Edit the code lines in the translate and rotate channels to read:

                        forceLimits 0
                        min -100000
                        max 100000

I think this is the most likely cause of your problem. Note that in order to edit the file it must be in an uncompressed format, e.g  pp2, or cr2, not ppz ,or crz.

4. The prop has no translate or rotate channels (unlikely). Use a text editor to copy the translate and rotate channels from a Poser primitive and paste them into the prop.

5. The 'hidden' attribute is causing the problem. In a text editor, set the hidden attribute of the prop to "hidden 0" set the 'hidden' attribute of each translate and rotate channel to "hidden 0".

6. ERC has been used to "lock" the channels. This is highly unlikely, the solution would be to remove the offending slaving code from the channels.

To the best of my knowledge, the above list is exhaustive. I think point #3 is the most likely cause of the problem. As far as the German version goes, the only thing I can think of that might cause a problem is if the file uses a "," as the decimal seperator, rather than a ".".
