Thanks much, B. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

CHEERS;-)

Quote - Although I've been repeatedly warned on the DAZ forum that what I do won't work,
The only reliable way I've found of getting poser poses to work is to turn off contraints, then checking "Leave limits on" in the warning box that comes up.
Downside is that IK won't work, and body parts will be able to be moved in XYZ translations (with really weird results). However XYZ translation is immediately obvious and easily corrected with "Undo".
By doing this I don't get distorted joints and lockups. All you have to remember is to only rotate the body parts and not to move them up and down, back and forth, or in and out.
