Ratscloset, thank you for the reply.  I did not use the Figure menu command to scale the figure. PhilC’s first step says to “manually” scale the figure, so that’s what I did.  Unfortunately, I still could not get it to work. 

I was able to get the clothes properly scaled (to a point) using the following method, but I must be missing something, because strangely enough, even though the clothes stay conformed ok if I load a preset Ben pose from the library, when I manually move an arm or leg with one of the editing tools, the clothes will tear.  Here’s what I did step by step, any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

1. Loaded Poser 6 Ben figure, and used Figure>Zero Figure to put him in the default pose, arms outstretched.
2. Loaded Pants, TShirt, Left Shoe, and Right Shoe from Props Library
3. Selected Ben TShirt as current object, then Figure>Conform To….selected “Ben”
4.  Did the same for Pants and each Shoe.
5.  Selected Ben + Body as current object and changed the Scale parameter dial from 100% to 50%, then did the same for the rest of the clothes, all set to 50%

 

This method matched the clothing size pretty well, and after loading a preset pose from the pose library, the clothes stayed conformed with the figure. However, if the clothes “tear” if I “manually” grab an arm or leg to move it, I won’t be able to manually animate this character.
Will post pics of results below....

Thanks!
