Is there any way in Poser to disable the automatic enabling of IK on the legs of a figure when it is first loaded? I have a nested pair of figures (a la Jepe's Hairy) with the outer conformed to the inner and both with IK off. If I save the composite figure and then load it into a fresh scene, the inner figure has IK off but the outer one has it on and the figures don't line up anymore. Is there any way to stop this behavior? Thanks.

Open the CR2 file in a text editor.
Search for "inkyChain" to find the block of text shown below:-

   inkyChain     LeftLeg<br></br>
      {<br></br>
      on<br></br>
      name LeftLeg<br></br>
      addLink lThigh:1<br></br>
      addLink lShin:1<br></br>
      goal lFoot:1<br></br>
      linkWeight 0 1<br></br>
      linkWeight 1 0.2<br></br>
      }<br></br>
   inkyChain     RightLeg<br></br>
      {<br></br>
      on<br></br>
      name RightLeg<br></br>
      addLink rThigh:1<br></br>
      addLink rShin:1<br></br>
      goal rFoot:1<br></br>
      linkWeight 0 1<br></br>
      linkWeight 1 0.2<br></br>
      }<br></br>

Edit it to :-

   inkyChain     <span style="color:#ff0000;">Left-Leg</span><br></br>
      {<br></br>
      <span style="color:#ff0000;">off</span>      <br></br>
      name <span style="color:#ff0000;">Left-Leg<br></br></span>     
addLink lThigh:1<br></br>
      addLink lShin:1<br></br>
      goal lFoot:1<br></br>
      linkWeight 0 1<br></br>
      linkWeight 1 0.2<br></br>
      }<br></br>
   inkyChain     <span style="color:#ff0000;">Right-Leg</span><br></br>
      {<br></br>
      <span style="color:#ff0000;">off</span><br></br>
      name <span style="color:#ff0000;">Right-Leg<br></br></span>     
addLink rThigh:1<br></br>
      addLink rShin:1<br></br>
      goal rFoot:1<br></br>
      linkWeight 0 1<br></br>
      linkWeight 1 0.2<br></br>
      }

The IK names "LeftLeg" and "RightLeg" are hard coded into Poser to always be turned on when the figue is loaded into Poser. You can avoid this by changing the name.

Oooo - thanks PhilC. I'd tried editing them to off in the CR2 files, but didn't know to change the names. Too late to do tonight (aka this morning) but will give it a try later.

I tried that edit out and it does exactly what I wanted. Thanks again, PhilC.
